Two people have been killed and several more critically injured in a shooting at Brown University, in Providence, Rhode Island. Here’s what we know so far:
A shooter dressed in black killed at least two people and wounded eight others at Brown University during final exams on the Ivy League campus. As of 8pm local time – more than three hours after the shooting – the suspect remained at large.
Providence mayor Brett Smiley confirmed that two people had been killed, but could not yet disclose details about the victims, including whether they were students. Smiley said a shelter-in-place was in effect for the area and encouraged people living near the campus to stay inside and not to return home until it was lifted.
