Sheriff?s Deputies have declined to comment on whether they are looking for more than one assailant.

Campus Police also said that the assault occurred off campus and that all investigations are being handled by the Sacramento County Sheriff?s Department.

“This happened in the county, it did not happen on campus,” said John Hamrick, Director of Sacramento State Public Safety.
