U of M Student Attacked in Dorm Room Robbery

January 25, 2008

I'd call a student's dorm room their home for the school year:

...

Police said a University of Minnesota student was the victim of an armed robbery. Police added that they do not believe this to be a random attack.

The victim invited three acquaintances into his room and one of the suspects displayed a handgun. The victim was threatened and robbed and the suspects fled the room.

The victim was not injured.
...


It'll be interesting to see if the suspects are students or not and what, if anything, the officials say about the U of M being a weapons free environment....and whether the perps knew about this rule.

Added: Original U of M Crime Alert

Edit: After finding another story on it at here, it's clear that this is criminal-on-criminal. The "victim," Grittner, was selling drugs to the perps, not exactly minding his own business at home. I apologize...but really am interested in any new perspectives on "weapons free zones."
