Brown University Shooting Leaves 2 Dead, 9 Injured as Investigation Continues

Police say the motive remains unknown despite releasing a previously detained person.

Overview

  • The Saturday afternoon attack during final exams triggered an hours-long shelter-in-place as hundreds of officers searched the Providence campus, with the lockdown lifted early Sunday.
  • Authorities later released a person of interest and, as of Monday, Providence police said they have a lot of leads and are collecting evidence to determine whether it will support an arrest.
  • Brown University announced the cancellation of all remaining fall exams, classes, papers and projects to prioritize care and support for students and staff.
  • Montreal Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis said his son Ryan, a 22-year-old Brown hockey player, sheltered on campus during the shooting and is now safe at home.
  • Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr called the incident a reminder that such shootings continue to happen and said there is something that can be done to prevent them.
