Two Tennessee State University students were robbed by masked men as they walked back to campus.

The armed robbery happened around midnight Friday on 28th Avenue North near Albion Street. 

Officials with Metro Nashville Police said while the two victims were not hurt, they were both held up at gunpoint while on their way back to campus.

Three people reportedly followed the students as they walked down the street.
