Johns Hopkins University has issued a warning to students and staff that they’re amping up security around its Baltimore, Maryland, campuses after seeing an uptick in “disturbing” and “serious” violent crime incidents.
In an Oct. 29 letter to the university’s community, vice president for public safety Branville G. Bard said that the uptick was notable over the past several months as he detailed two out of six armed robberies—two of which were abductions or abduction attempts—that occurred in the month of October alone.
