A gunman opened fire at Brown University in Rhode Island, killing two people and critically injuring eight others during final exams, with the suspect still at large and a campus-wide shelter-in-place order in effect.
The shooting occurred Saturday afternoon in the Barus & Holley engineering building.
Eight victims were transported to Rhode Island Hospital in critical but stable condition.
The suspect is described as a male dressed in black who escaped on foot.
Initial reports of an arrest were retracted; no weapon has been recovered.
President Donald Trump posted about the incident, initially repeating the false custody claim.
The FBI and ATF are assisting local and campus police in the response.
Students were advised to lock doors, stay hidden, and silence phones.
