Four women in France were attacked with acid at a train station earlier today.

The women were tourists from the U.S., and two of them have been taken to the hospital. The other two, CNN reports, are in shock.

The assailant has been described as a 41-year-old woman and French police are not treating this as an act of terrorism.

BuzzFeed flagged a statement from Boston College confirming the four young women were BC juniors.
