LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. — No one was hurt during an armed robbery and shooting on the campus of Georgia Gwinnett College in Lawrenceville on Saturday, according to a campus spokesperson.
Georgia Gwinnett College spokesperson Sally Ramey said that a person reported an armed robbery in the parking lot of the school's Building A to campus police at about 11:30 a.m.
Ramey said that as the suspect was leaving the area on foot, a shot was fired into the victim's car.
She said the suspect ran off toward a parking deck, and remains at large.
The suspect is described as a black male wearing a blue shirt.
According to Ramey, when the incident was initially reported to police, the campus was placed under a "soft lockdown," which means that people should remain in buildings and safe areas.
At 12:35 p.m., Ramey said, an "all clear" was sent to everyone on campus as Georgia Gwinnett Police continued their investigation of the incident.
