Multiple people were shot on Saturday at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, prompting an active shooter alert and a campus lockdown, city officials said.
Brown University said on its website that it was responding to an active shooter situation and urged students and staff to shelter in place. As of late Saturday afternoon, no suspects were in police custody and the investigation was ongoing.
Kristy DosReis, Providence’s chief public information officer for public safety, confirmed that multiple people had been shot but declined to provide details on the number of injured or whether any fatalities had been confirmed. She said authorities were urging people in the area to remain sheltered as police continued their response.
The Associated Press, citing a source familiar with the situation, reported that at least two people were killed, while other media outlets said as many as 20 individuals may have been injured. Reuters said it had not independently confirmed those figures.
The shooting was reported near the Barus and Holley building on Brown’s campus and occurred during the university’s final exam period. Law enforcement agencies from the local, state and federal levels were deployed to the scene.
President Donald Trump said he had been briefed on the incident and confirmed that the FBI was assisting with the investigation. In a social media post, Trump offered condolences to the victims and their families. He initially echoed early reports suggesting a suspect had been detained, but authorities later clarified that no arrest had been made.
