>> injuries, but he was cleared following execution of a search warrant at his
>> dorm room.
>>
>> "The current thought is, yes, it is a UI player," Tennant said. "We have
>> a person of interest being involved in that fight."
>>
>> A 2001 Honda Accord belonging to the girlfriend of UI senior wide
>> receiver Kyren Watts, who was using the car that night, was totalled about
>> an hour later, Tennant said.
>>
>> WSU players are believed to have committed the act as retribution for

>> been indiscriminate in their retaliation against UI players, and the person
>> of interest has been interviewed.
>>
>> "Every place you could put a dent is dented," he said, as well as broken
>> out windows. "The driver's door is about ripped off its hinges, all of the
>> rearview mirrors are ripped off."
>>
>> Simmons reportedly regained consciousness Monday, and Pullman detectives
>> were sent to Spokane to interview him about the events of Sunday morning.
>>
>> "We've got nothing but cooperation from the coaches on both sides of the
>> state line, which is fantastic," Tennant said.
>>
>> Around 10:40 a.m. Sunday, Sacred Heart Church employee found an unloaded
>> .32-caliber semiautomatic handgun in weeds by a fence. Police are looking
>> at it as possibly related to the fight.
>>
>> "It's all speculation at this point," Tennant said. "We're still
>> continuing our investigation."
>>
>> WSU athletics spokesman Bill Stevens said the matter is being dealt with
>> internally, but football practice will continue as scheduled 3 p.m. today.
>>
>> "Coaches are still gathering information and we would never comment on
>> team matters," Stevens said. "It will be dealt with within the team."
>>
>> Attempts to reach UI athletic director Rob Spear were unsuccessful Monday.
