Several individuals were shot Saturday at Brown University, an esteemed Ivy League institution in Rhode Island, according to a Providence city official. The Associated Press reports that at least two people lost their lives in the incident. Brown’s official website described the event as an “active shooter” situation, with no suspects in custody as of 5:11 p.m. Eastern Time. Other news sources have suggested that as many as 20 people may have been injured, but Reuters has not verified these claims. Kristy DosReis, the Providence public safety spokeswoman, declined to specify the number of wounded or confirm fatalities, stating only that multiple people had been shot and that authorities are actively investigating. She urged people to shelter in place as the situation develops. This is a rapidly evolving story with updates expected.
