The Louisville Metro Police Department is investigating an armed robbery of a UofL student near the Health Sciences Center. The student reported that the robbery occurred Tuesday, July 22, at about*8:50 a.m.*in the 500 block of Marshall Street.
The victim described the suspect as a black male in his 30s, about 5’8” tall, with short hair and a scruffy beard. He was wearing a black t-shirt and black shorts and was armed with a hand gun.
The suspect left on foot.
This is the second reported robbery in that area this month. If you have any information on either case please contact the UofL Police at852-6111.

UofL employee reported a robbery at about3:30 p.m.*July 23 near the corner of Marshall and Hancock streets. The victim says a black male walking westbound on Marshall displayed a black, small-frame semi-automatic pistol and demanded his personal possessions. The victim described the suspect as being in his early 20s, about 5’7” and medium to slender build. The suspect had no facial hair, and his hair was covered by a bandana. He was wearing a black, short-sleeve shirt, dark baggy jeans and tennis shoes.
This is the third robbery of a UofL student or employee in this area within the past two weeks. UofL police and LMPD are beefing up security, and they advise caution when traveling through this area.
And today's alerts that actually went out to the students
8:38am
UofL Police are on the scene of a shooting at the corner of Jackson & Liberty St. EMS en route. Suspect has left the area. More details as available.
11:34
UofL Alert update: A dental school employee is recovering from non life-threatening injuries after a double shooting near HSC this morning.* LMPD reported that one person attempted to rob another, leading to an exchange of gunfire. LMPD is investigating for a connection between this incident and others that have occurred* in recent weeks.
We are disarmed on campus because the schools ans hospitals want to save a few bucks on their insurance is my guess. This ties in nicely with the recent doctor stoping a mass shooting.
I wonder why KY isnt more like Idaho in that students can CC on campus if they have a permit
