D.C. police are investigating a possible hate crime at a high school for the deaf on the campus of Gallaudet University. Police Chief Cathy Lanier says a black student was held against his will for about an hour early Sunday in a dorm room by other students at the Model Secondary School for the Deaf.

Lanier says the students used a marker to write 'KKK' and draw swastikas on the student. They then let him go and he contacted authorities.

ABC 7 News myTAKE - What's Your Opinion?She says police have identified seven suspects in the incident. She says six of the suspects are white and one is black.

Lanier says the school has fully cooperated with the investigation.

Gallaudet University Provost Stephen Weiner says the student, who was not identified, is at home with his parents.

Spareme: You seem to be saying two wrongs make a right. I condemn any action, weather it is white on black or black on white. You seem to be saying that the acts of the six blacks are justified because of some earlier incident where it was reversed. Why not say both incidents are wrong? Why is it always a hate crime when it is whites on black but not when it is blacks on white? I'm also sick and tired of people living in the past. People need to stop blaming the past for their circumstances today.
