Brandon Frick is charged with aggravated assault, terroristic threats, possession of an instrument of crime and recklessly endangering. Police say Frick is a 21-year-old student at Penn State Altoona. He was taken to the Centre County Correctional Facility on $10,000 bail.

William Stranburg is charged with terroristic threats, possession of an instrument of crime and recklessly endangering. According to police, Stranburg is a 21-year-old Penn State student. He was set free on $2,000 bail.

Twenty-two-year-old Robert Donaldson is charged with terroristic threats, possession of an instrument of crime and recklessly endangering. Donaldson, who police say is also a Penn State student, was released on $2,000 bail.

All three suspects are scheduled for preliminary hearings on April 16.
