A scary situation at the University of Rochester on Saturday afternoon.

Police say three students were injured after a chemical explosion on campus. They say the explosion happened inside the chemistry department, in the basement of Hutchinson Hall, at around 2:30 p.m. We’re told three graduate students were doing lab work in the basement when a mixture of chemicals and acidic waste exploded right in front of them. School officials have identified those three students as Jared Kneebone, Kathlyn Fillman and Malik Al-Afyouni.
