"This is the very preliminary stages of the investigation," she said.
Levin sent a warning to fellow House residents over the House's open e-mail list, known as Pfoho-Open.
He urged students to keep their doors locked, since his suite door had been unlocked.
About 40 people began the spring round of Team Gotcha on Sunday night, according to Anna C. Gay '02, one of the two Pfoho "Gotcha Goddesses."

McNamara said police and College administrators strongly discourage "Gotcha" and a similar game called "Assassin."
"The whole game in its entirety is very dangerous," McNamara said. "It's very dangerous with the weapons looking as real as they do now."
