Thursday in Port-au-Prince, a woman medical student at the Tulane University (Louisiana), accompanied by another student was victim at 6:45 p.m. of a violent armed robbery. During the assault, the student was injured by bullets in the hand and chest, according to officials from the American University.

The student whose condition was stabilized was transported from a Haitian hospital to a Miami hospital for treatment of his injuries. She and 8 other students were in Haiti as part of a School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine maternal and child health program operating in Petion-ville.

Following this incident, all students of the program have left Haiti.

In a note, "Tulane University is reaching out to the victim of this terrible crime as well as all students involved in this program in order to ensure their safety and emotional well-being."
