Wednesday, October 7, 2009

GREENSBORO — Police are investigating the robbery of several people at residence near N.C. A&T.

Police were called to 917 Bluford St. at around 12:40 p.m. to what was initially described as a shooting.

A joint investigation by Greensboro police and N.C. A&T campus police revealed four students and two guests were inside the home when two masked suspects entered the home in a robbery.

One student received a cut after being struck in the head and was treated and released from the campus health center, police said.

Police conducted a search of the area with K-9 units but were unable to find the suspects.

Campus officials issued a emergency alert about the incident and provided extra security at Noble and Frazier halls, which are across the street from the home.

No campus buildings were put on lock down and no other injuries were reported.

Police ask anyone with information about the incident to contact Crime Stoppers at 373-1000.

Callers remain anonymous and eligible for cash rewards.

The N&R kills me with always managing to put A&T in the headlines. If it didn't happen on campus then they need to keep our name out of their mouth!

It is just getting worse in Greensboro. I was robbed at Cookout back in June. We got to get these people work ASAP!

I think there was a shooting on UNCG campus last week, did it make the front page of the N&R?

[DECKS]

In all fairness, it does appear the N&R is somewhat consistent with their reporting. I'm still looking for articles that mentions UNCG by name for crimes that occur near campus.

A very small article made the papers. Several days later there was a very favorable article stating that crime committed on their campus is done by outsiders.

Noticed "UNCG" wasn't in the headlines for its campus shooting but "A&T" is in the headlines for a shooting not on its campus. This BS is so blatant.

So blatant!
