Early morning assault near Augusta & Cincinnati reported

A student reported to Gonzaga Security that he was walking north of the Gonzaga campus with two other male students near Cincinnati and Augusta at about 12:30 AM this morning when two white males in their late 20’s or early 30’s, who they believed to be non-students, engaged in an argument with them and began punching them. One of the students reported being hit in the head with a fence board and had a swollen eye and cuts. The other two students were not injured.

The student was encouraged to file a police report. A similar early morning assault was reported to have occurred near this area on January 22 (see previous post).

Gonzaga community members are reminded of the following safety tips:

• If you have to walk, do so in groups especially after dark. Try to use well-lit, busy routes. Be aware of your surroundings.
• Utilize Saferide if you need a ride back to your residence from an off-campus location: call 568-8000.
• Utilize Security escorts to travel across campus: 313-2222.
• Report suspicious persons or circumstances immediately to GU Security (313-2222) or SPD (911).
• Once you are in safe place, report all crimes immediately to police at 911 and GU Security at 313-2222.
