The student was not injured.\n\nThe student reported the incident to Penn College Police immediately using an adjacent callbox. He said he was approached from behind by two black males. He described the suspects as high school-aged. One, he said, wore a green hooded sweatshirt and the other wore a gray hooded sweatshirt. He said one of the suspects displayed a bb gun or a handgun, but did not point it at him, when he asked for money. Both, he said, were riding mountain bikes and rode north on Susquehanna Street after the incident.\n\nPenn College Police ask that anyone who was in the vicinity of the incident between 9:45 and 10 p.m. Monday to contact them at 570-321-5555 if they have any information or may have seen the two suspects before or after the crime occurred. Police also remind anyone who is a victim of a crime to report the incident to police immediately.",
