The victim, a male Ohio State student, stated that he was getting out of his vehicle when he was approached by two suspects, a male and a female. Reports indicate that the male suspect displayed a handgun and that the suspects threw the victim's backpack to the ground before stealing his car. No injuries were reported.\nBoth suspects were wearing hooded sweatshirts and masks so additional details are limited. Please be on the lookout for the stolen vehicle - a silver Nissan Altima with Ohio plate \"HUL6163.\" Anyone with information related to this crime is encouraged to call the Columbus Division of Police at 614-645-4545.\nCrimes are never the fault of the victim.",
