Manhunt Underway After Deadly Shooting at Brown University

A shooting occurred at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, on Saturday afternoon, resulting in two fatalities and nine injuries. The incident took place around 4:05 p.m. in the Barus & Holley engineering building during final exams. The suspect, described as a man in his 30s dressed in black and wearing a camouflage mask, remains at large. Over 400 law enforcement agents, including the FBI and ATF, are involved in the search. Seven of the injured are in critical condition. The university was placed on lockdown for several hours. Providence Mayor Brett Smiley and Rhode Island Governor Daniel McKee expressed grief and promised justice. President Donald Trump called the incident "terrible." Students sheltered in place, and many city venues increased security. The shooting brings renewed attention to the high frequency of mass shootings in the U.S., with 389 incidents reported so far this year by the Gun Violence Archive. Brown's President Christina Paxson confirmed that most victims were students, calling the situation a nightmare scenario.
