UD, a student of hoaxes…

… has been eyeing with interest the story of a University of Connecticut student robbed at gunpoint inside a campus building.

It’s really rare for people with guns to rob people inside of academic buildings. UD‘s been blogging about universities for years, and she can’t recall a case.

The student has now admitted making it up.

  1. Mr Punch Says:

    The murder at Harvard in 2009 was a shooting in the course of a (drug-related) robbery in a dorm.

    I’d forgotten that one, Mr Punch. Thanks for reminding me. And yes – it was a dispute between drug dealers, neither of whom was a Harvard student. (If I’m recalling correctly.)
