The condition has improved for one of the three patients being treated for injuries in the Rutgers campus stabbing last week.
NEW BRUNSWICK -- Three people still remain hospitalized a week after the stabbing at the Rutgers Business School, but the condition of one has improved, hospital officials said.
A Rutgers University student and a faculty member were critically wounded last week when a former student stabbed them in an office at the business school during afternoon classes, officials said.
The suspect, 25-year-old Joshua S. Thompson, of Mountainside, was also seriously injured from what authorities say were self-inflicted wounds, previous reports said.
All three are being treated at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick.

On Friday, hospital spokesman Peter Haigney said the condition of one of the three had improved. However, due to patient privacy laws, it remains unclear which patient Haigney was referring to.
Thompson has been charged with attempted murder, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of a weapon in connection with the crimes, Rutgers police said.
No court appearances have been scheduled at this time, according to the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office.
It is unknown whether Thompson has an attorney.
