It's a scary time to be a young person on LSU's campus. Recently, there have been a string of attacks and attempted abductions on and around the Baton Rouge school grounds. The occurrences started Sunday, Jan. 27 and have continued the last few days. Students have reported being approached, followed and chased by men, and reporting battery. Also, an armed robbery took place on Monday, Jan. 28 in one of the campus parking lots.

The LSU Police Department has issued a statement to parents since the attacks, assuring that they are investigating the instances thoroughly and safely is their number one priority. "As a father, I understand your concern, and I want you to know that police are utilizing all resources at their disposal to apprehend those responsible for these incidents," says Bart Thompson, LSU Chief of Police. "These crimes are not acceptable and they take away from the great work your students are doing on our campus each and every day. The university and LSU PD work hard to ensure your students have a safe place to get an education."
