Law enforcement searched Wednesday the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga fraternity house that had two members injured by burns last month.

The house is affiliated with the UTC chapter of the Kappa Sigma fraternity.

This is an active, ongoing criminal investigation, Brett Fuchs, spokesperson for the university’s office of emergency management, said in an interview.

Fuchs said between state code related to releasing law enforcement records and federal privacy laws, UTC officials couldn’t release more information at this time but would be able to post-investigation.
