According to breaking911.com, there’s just been a home invasion at a Columbia apartment at 535 West 111th street (most likely University Apartment Housing). Police are looking for three males with masks and armed with guns, and NYPD Mobilization 1 was requested; according to Spec, there’s no information aside that from the police press line. Stay safe/in your dorms, folks.
Update, 10:30 am According to DNAinfo, three men knocked on the apartment door and entered when one tenant was there. They stole cash and a cellphone before the other roommate arrived–and then they attacked him. The man was taken to St. Luke’s and has since been released.
Update, 12:40 pm Dean Kromm just sent out a flyer, which included these images of the suspects. According to her, there were actually four people involved, and the robbery happened at 10:20 pm. Anyone with information should call NYPD detectives at (212) 678-1351.

@Anonymous According to news reports, it was a Columbia owned building, but the victims were not Columbia affiliates (not that that makes it any better.)
@Anonymous Am I the only one who thinks it slightly weird to be casually talking on a cell phone minutes before assaulting and burgling?
@Jerome Green Just an attempt at not looking shady.

@Anonymous How did they get in the door? Who let them in?

@Anonymous This is why we need locked doors and swipe access.
@Anonymous So what ethnicity were they?
@Anonymous Take a guess…
@I'm not worried The one unarmed CPS officer on the bottom floor of my residence hall will keep me safe from the three scary guys with guns!
@besides it’s not like they can just swipe in without CUID.
@NRA The only one who can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun
