Often it is argued that GMU students don't need the ability to defend themselves, that Mason, and the surrounding area is perfectly safe. While Fairfax does have a low crime rate, violent crime happens here.
Yesterday, March 6th, 2012 at 11p.m. five GMU students were robbed at gunpoint in a Fairfax house. Luckily no one was hurt, but this serves as a potent reminder that Fairfax is no immune to crime.
