Sophomore guard was involved in an altercation outside a College Station bar”</p>

<p>"Jonathan Bailey, a sophomore guard at Rice University, was stabbed to death this morning after a confrontation at a College Station bar. Bailey turned 22 on Wednesday.</p>

<p>Bailey, a transfer from Texas State and Beaumont West Brook graduate, and his twin brother, Janson, were found by College Station police at about 1:45 a.m. in the 100 block of Lodge Street. The Bailey brothers, both of whom suffered multiple stab wounds, were transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital by College Station Fire Department personnel. </p>

<p>Jonathan Bailey was later pronounced dead; Janson is undergoing treatment. "</p>

<p>:( I’m just speechless. Sending healing thoughts and prayers, and wishes for peace and comfort to the family of these boys…and wishes for a full and speedy recovery for Janson. How many families must go through this devastation?</p>

<p>The loss of a child is unfathomable. What’s worse, it is at the hands of someone else. Unthinkable. Tragic. Terrible. Disgusting that any fight would occur but that someone would resort to stabbing to settle it. And now, the poor parents have lost a son and have another clinging to life. A double tragedy. Senseless. Pure grief. I hope their son recovers and I hope the parents can recover from this tragedy in some manner.</p>

<p>Oh…so hard. For all. Such an unfathomable and senseless waste.</p>

<p>It’s been a hard year for the Rice community in terms of deaths. My condolences to the family of Jonathon. So sad…</p>

<p>That’s just horrible news. My prayers are with the family, and for the recovery of their son, Jason. I know he and his parents are devastated at the loss of his twin, Jonathan.</p>

<p>update - the assailant was a Marine who had just finished a tour in Iraq. Very sad situation.</p>
