Two students were robbed at gunpoint in front of Cougar Place Saturday night.
The students said they were at the entrance of the dormitory when they noticed a male walking toward them. Assuming the male was a student, they held the door open for him. The suspect then allegedly pulled out a handgun and demanded that the students hand over their belongings.
The suspect allegedly ran over to a purple PT Cruiser parked on Cougar Place Drive. As the car drove away, students said the suspect fired a shot in the air as the car drove down Cullen Boulevard.
The first suspect is described as a black male between the age of 18 to 22, 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 8 inches in height and weighing between 150 and 180 pounds, with short, black hair and a goatee. He was seen wearing a navy blue hoodie and blue jeans.
No description is available of the second suspect, who was driving the vehicle.
