3 University of Chicago students robbed in Hyde Park

CHICAGO -- The University of Chicago issued a campuswide security alert, after three students were robbed at gunpoint within five minutes on Wednesday. Anika Miro-Quesada is a student who has also been a victim of a crime.'It's just a little scary, because you don't think it's on campus, because normally it does kind of happen off campus,' she said.

'There are situations where you're walking along the street, and you're targeted, and you've got three or four armed guys just kind of surrounding you. I'm not sure what you're going to do.'To ease the fear, the university offers safety escorts, shuttles, late-night parking, and Lyft programs for undergraduate students.
