Georgia State student robbed at gunpoint, pistol-whipped in campus parking lot
Police in Atlanta are looking for two men who got into a Georgia State University student’s car while she was parked on campus, robbed her at gunpoint and pistol-whipped her.
The woman got off a shuttle and walked to her car parked in the blue lot on campus about 6 p.m. on Sept. 27, Channel 2 Action News reported.
After she got into the driver’s seat, two armed men jumped into the vehicle and demanded she hand over all of her belongings, the news station reported.
When the woman fought back, one of the robbers hit her with his gun, according to Channel 2. A police report said a round was fired from the gun inside the vehicle, and it was found lodged in the passenger seat.
The men got away with the student’s computer and wallet. They haven’t been located.
Students at the university said the lot is one of the few places on campus they can park for free.
