Gunman robs Memphis students in class

 

The Associated Press • January 15, 2009

 

MEMPHIS — Authorities say a man disguised in a wig burst into a classroom and robbed students at gunpoint at a small private college in Memphis.

 

LeMoyne-Owen College President Johnnie Watson says 18 students were in the English classroom when the man barged in Thursday.

 

Watson says the man — who had a handgun — ordered students to toss their purses and wallets on the floor. He then fled the campus. No shots were fired and no one was hurt.

 

Police searched the campus and the surrounding neighborhood but made no immediate arrests. The campus was temporarily locked down and classes were canceled for the rest of the day. The school has about 800 students.

 

Watson says the gunman was photographed by campus security cameras.

 

Must have forgot to post up their 'Gun Free Zone' sign on the front door...
