Shippensburg University emailed students Thursday informing students of an off-campus sexual assault.
Officials sent the email on behalf of SU Police Chief Michael Lee. The email said a sexual assault occurred off campus at an unknown time. A third-party reported the incident in an online submission after the unknown victim, who is reported to be a student, told them they had been assaulted by a known offender. The incident reportedly occurred off campus and is out of jurisdiction of the SUPD, according to the email.
