Last night the LSU Police Department said they were investigating a reported abduction of a female student on campus.
The university sent out an alert to students Wednesday afternoon saying LSU Police had been notified of a 2nd degree kidnapping that occurred around Aster Street area near Cypress Hall.
LSU spokesman Ernie Ballard said based on preliminary information, the incident was being investigated as second-degree kidnapping. Ballard said police had not been able to get much information about the incident from the female student, because of the trauma the student is dealing with. He did not disclose more about the ongoing investigation, including whether the female was taken off-campus or whether she sustained any injuries.
