A man with a semi-automatic handgun robbed two Loyola students Saturday at St. Charles Avenue and Peniston Street, police said.
The students were headed toward campus when they said they were approached by a six-foot tall black man between 27 and 35 years old wearing a T-shirt, khaki pants, tennis shoes and a white baseball cap, police said.
The man told the students to give him their belongings, police said. According to one of the students, the suspect told them they were moving too slow and that he would “pop a cap into their heads,” according to a release from University Police.
The suspect then told the students to walk down St. Charles, and he fled the scene.
