The ''Eagle'' described this the event as follows:
<blockquote>
:Williamstown Police launched an investigation that immediately focused on students, because of Coffin's remarks about fraternities. As part of the investigation, they questioned each of the 55 students on campus who were known to own shotguns. During the course of the investigation, someone set off a pair of cherry bombs in the Coffins' backyard as well.
:After five days, two brothers of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity came forward and confessed. Junior Stephen Barnett and sophomore Paul Crews [The two students] were charged with malicious damage to property, fined $125 each, and expelled by the college.
:According to their statement as quoted in the newspaper, the two men said they had been riding around with a borrowed shotgun and thought it would be "a good idea" to shoot up the house. They passed the house several times, and thought there was no one home.
