In a tragic incident at Brown University in Providence, a shooter left multiple individuals injured and claimed two lives during the early evening on Saturday.

At precisely 4:22 p.m. on Saturday, the university initiated a lockdown in response to an active shooter situation near the Barus & Holley Engineering building. The administration swiftly took action, urging everyone on campus to secure doors, silence their phones, and find shelter.

The university maintained a steady flow of alerts, keeping students informed with updates throughout the night. As the evening progressed, it was regrettably confirmed that two students had lost their lives. Additionally, nine students were hospitalized, with eight initially reported in critical condition.

By Sunday morning, university alerts indicated that one student remained in critical condition as they continued to monitor the situation closely.

As of Sunday morning, one student was listed in critical condition, according to the university alerts.

“We continue to be in mourning as a community about the tragic loss of life,” Brown University officials said in an announcement. “Stole the lives of two of our students yesterday, while one remains in critical but stable condition.”

Around 11:00 p.m., the Providence Police released a video of a person wearing dark-colored clothes as a person of interest in the shooting.

Providence Deputy Chief of Police Commander Timothy O’Hara stated that the person was seen on Hope Street heading east towards the riverfront.

The entire campus remained in a shelter-in-place status until a little before 6:00 a.m. Sunday, when the University announced it had been lifted.

“Providence police have advised the University that the shelter-in-place order has ended for the entire Brown campus.”

There are still several areas closed off as part of the investigation, according to the university’s alerts.

“There continues to be limited access to some areas of campus as police continue to investigate yesterday’s shooting.”

The areas with limited access are “considered an active crime scene.”

The lifting of the shelter in place came after authorities took the person of interest into custody, and according to Providence’s chief of police, Col. Oscar Perez, no other individuals are being pursued, NBC News reported.

This is an ongoing investigation, and anyone with information is encouraged to reach out to a dedicated tip line at 401-652-5767.
