The 21-year-old caller reported that he and his roommate had been robbed at gunpoint by three males who had entered their home uninvited. Both victims were struck by the suspects and suffered minor head injuries as a result of the robbery. Both victims were transported to Mercy Regional Health Center by Riley County EMS and were treated then released. Both victims are students at Kansas State University

It can be assumed that conditions continue to exist that may pose a threat to members and guests of the university community. It is the duty of the institution to warn of possible “dangerous conditions” on or near the campus, and at affiliate organizations off campus. An “affirmative duty” exists to warn persons associated with the university of possible
peril at the hands of some third party or parties.

Kansas State University Police advises members of the campus community to:

• Report crimes immediately when they occur.

• Report any suspicious activity

The university police department is at 108 Edwards Hall.
