The alleged sexual assault took place at a party off campus, as well as in an on-campus room belonging to an acquaintance of the woman.

"The alleged perpetrators have been identified, interim suspended, and restricted from campus while this matter is being investigated," campus police said in a bulletin.

"No ongoing threat to the FSU community has been identified. "

Some students on campus said they are rattled by the reported assault.

"That's scary. And everyone here I'm pretty sure is pretty scared about it right now," said Framingham State student Kayllan Olicio.

"I honestly think it's a safe campus. But things like this just reinforce the fact that you shouldn't be trusting everyone here."
