Several photos and videos from the scene surfaced on social media. Witnesses reported that the shooter was wearing a black mask. None of these details have been confirmed by authorities.
Brown University is located in Providence, Rhode Island, in the historic College Hill neighborhood on the city’s East Side. The campus sits just east of downtown Providence and overlooks the Providence River, placing it within walking distance of many of the city’s cultural and civic landmarks.
Providence is the state capital and largest city in Rhode Island, and Brown’s location makes it one of the most centrally situated Ivy League universities, about 50 miles south of Boston.
Saturday's shooting comes just four days after one student was killed and another was critically wounded in a shooting at Kentucky State University.
