Four students were robbed at gunpoint while studying in the Redcat Room around 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 19. The university notified the student body of the incident via security alert later that night.
Three males approached the students in the room and threatened them with a silver handgun. The suspects were reported as wearing hoodies, and possibly red bandannas.
Most of the student’s property was recovered by police in a nearby building off campus. However, the suspects have not yet been apprehended.
