Manhunt Underway After Deadly Shooting at Brown University

PROVIDENCE, RI – A massive police operation is underway in Providence, Rhode Island, following a shooting at Brown University on Saturday that left two people dead and nine others injured, eight critically.

The incident occurred at approximately 4:05 PM local time in the Barus and Holley building, which houses the school of engineering and the physics department, while students were taking exams. An unidentified suspect entered the building and opened fire.

A shelter-in-place order is currently in effect for the university campus and surrounding neighborhoods. Over 400 law enforcement personnel, including agents from the FBI and ATF, are involved in the search for the suspect, described as a male possibly in his 30s and dressed in black. While initial reports suggested the suspect may have been wearing a mask, this remains unconfirmed.

“We do not believe there is any specific, ongoing threat” posed by the attacker according to Mayor Brett Smiley.

University President Christina Paxson stated that the victims were believed to be students, although official identification is pending.

The President addressed the nation, stating he had been briefed on the “terrible” situation. “All we can do right now is pray for the victims and for those that were very badly hurt,” he said.

Investigators are examining shell casings recovered from the scene and working to determine the motive for the attack.
