ATLANTA — A Georgia State University student is facing charges after two students were robbed at gunpoint inside a dorm.
Police haven’t identified the student or the charges she’s facing, citing the ongoing investigation.
On Oc. 30, GSU police responded to Piedmont Central Dormitory after getting reports of an armed robbery.
Investigators said the unidentified student accused another student of stealing her hoodie and when the accused student refused to give it back, the student called two men to the dorm.
Once they arrived, the men were taken upstairs to the victims’ dorm room, where they robbed and assaulted two students, police said.

The two men, who are not students at GSU, were last seen leaving the scene in a black Toyota Camry, according to police.
Police have identified the men, but as of 5 p.m. Monday, they remained on the run, according to jail records.
On Monday, Channel 2′s Michael Seiden stopped by the dorm and spoke with several students who had no idea what had happened until he told them about the incident.
“I don’t know how they got in,” said Ayesa, a GSU freshman who asked us not to share her last name. “Georgia State has really good protocols when it comes to safety for housing.”
“I am definitely going to check my surroundings,” said GSU student Lita Volk. “I’m going to be more careful about who walks in for sure.”
GSU officials called this an “isolated issue” and reassured students that they are safe on campus.
The two robbery victims suffered minor injuries, and both are expected to make a full recovery.
