The men ran out the front door and jumped off a porch after one of the students, who woke up to the men rummaging through his room, started yelling for them to leave.

“When we first woke up, we were panicking, but we were also just glad that nobody got hurt,” Joel Fritzius, who lives in the apartment, said.

No arrests have been made.
