Dear Campus Community,
The following Public Safety Bulletin is sent to you on behalf of the Office of Public Safety and TCU
Police. Clery Timely Warnings are sent to the campus community in the event of a crime reported on
campus, in order to keep the campus community informed and vigilant. Public Safety Bulletins are
sent when TCU Police are aware of off campus crimes, which may also present risks to the TCU
Community. Please read the notice attached, in addition to Safety Tips.
The Fort Worth Police Department is investigating an Aggravated Robbery criminal offense, which

sedan, occupied by two black male suspects. The suspects displayed a paint ball rifle and
demanded personal property from both students. After the students complied, the suspects
immediately discharged the weapon, striking one of the students multiple times and fled
Northbound towards W. Berry St.
If anyone has information about this incident, please contact the TCU Police at 817-257-7777 or

SAFETY TIPS
§ Always be vigilant, aware of your surroundings and prepared to evade immediate danger.
§ Always travel in groups when possible, especially at night or in remote areas.
§ Late at night, consider using a ride share service.

you observe with as many details as possible. Crimes are frequently solved with
information provided by observant bystanders.

suspicious activity to TCU Police at 817-257-7777. Please program the number into your cellular
