Students on alert after MU fraternity house robbed

Columbia police are investigating a robbery and assault near the University of Missouri campus overnight on Tuesday .

Police were called to the Phi Delta Theta fraternity house, 101 Burnam Road East, at 1:12 a.m.

CPD say two to three male suspects who were armed with handguns broke into the house through an unlocked door. The suspects forced their way into a bedroom where the two victims were.

The victims were assault and the suspects ransacked the room before running away to the northeast with an undisclosed amount of property.

One victim was taken to an area hospital with a head injury.

The suspects are still on the run and were last seen wearing dark hoodies with masks, and one suspect was wearing blue jeans and red tennis shoes.

Students told ABC 17 News even though this did not happen on campus they are worried for their safety.

“I always make sure I have someone with me,” said Madison Hinmon, when she is walking in greek town.

And she is not the only one who feels this way.

“I don’t really feel safe, not with everything that is going on around campus. There has been a lot of crime and a lot of racial tensions this past year so no I don’t really feel safe,” said Kimaya Davis an MU student.

ABC 17 News asked students what they think would make them feel safer.

They say more lighting on campus and a stronger police presence.
