An assault in a dorm room at Roanoke College last week has led to the arrest of four students.
Salem police say two men wearing masks broke into the room... along with a companion early in the morning.
One of the suspects hit a student in the face, while another student in the room was forced to watch.
Police say this incident came after one the week before that involved a small amount of marijuana.
One of the suspects is from West Virginia; the others are from Massachusetts.
All four have been suspended from Roanoke College.

But this morning, Gilmore's attorney appealed to the Supreme Court, charging that Finn's death would be a "mercy killing," illegal in Virginia.
Within two hours, the Supreme Court rejected the Governor's request, saying "... withdrawal of artificial nutrition ... merely permits the natural process of dying and is NOT mercy killing or euthanasia."
