Last Saturday, December 13, a deadly shooting turned the scenic campus of Brown University into a scene of fear and confusion. Students heard gunfire ring out and hunkered down in dorms and classrooms 😱.
Police later confirmed that two students were killed and nine others injured. Command posts sprang up across Providence as law enforcement worked to secure the area. By evening, officers had detained a person of interest at a hotel just outside the city. Authorities have not yet released details on a possible motive.
In the aftermath, students were escorted safely off campus by police, while friends and family anxiously awaited news. Campus support services, including counseling hotlines, have been mobilized to help those affected 🙏.
As Brown University and Providence come to terms with this tragedy, questions about campus safety and mental health resources are at the forefront. The community is calling for answers—and for healing to begin.
