Four people, including two college football stars, were arrested and at least 10 people hospitalised after a weekend party near Colorado State University that was advertised on Facebook grew to thousands of people.
The back-to-school party at a Fort Collins apartment complex began at 1 pm Saturday.
Its Facebook page registered nearly 3,000 attendees.

Party: Up to 4000 revellers swamped a Colorado housing complex on Saturday

Overwhelmed: Ambulance staff called to the party had to radio for back from police after the party got out of hand

Fort Collins Police Lt. Dave Haywood says officers were dispatched at about 3 pm after fire and ambulance responders were 'overwhelmed with alcohol-overdose cases.'
Police say two people were cited with assault, one was cited with disorderly conduct, and a fourth person was cited with interference with a peace officer.
According to the Denver Post, two of those arrested played for the University's football team.
The paper reported James William Skelton, 21, starting middle linebacker for the Rams, was cited for third-degree assault.
Zachary Robert Tiedgen, 21, a backup defensive lineman, was also cited for disorderly conduct.

The other two were Daniel James Rosselot, 20, for third-degree assault, and Dillon James Lawrence, 20, for interfering with a police officer.
Haywood says the assault charges were related to a fight, though he doesn't think anyone was 'seriously hurt.'
He says he doesn't have details on the people who were taken to hospitals, but he says some of the cases involved intoxication.
