A quiet winter afternoon at Brown University turned into chaos after gunshots fired inside a classroom in the engineering complex. Two people were killed and at least nine injured. Students were ordered to shelter in place and hid in dark rooms. Doctoral student Chiang-Heng Chien said, “We closed the door, had the lights off, and went under desks.” The police launched a massive manhunt, deploying over 400 officers. Ambulances, armoured vehicles, helicopters, and flashing lights filled the streets. Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee called it “a nightmare.” The shooter has not been caught. FBI released footage of the suspect and asked people to report any information to 1-800-CALL-FBI or their website. Students faced hours of fear and confusion, relying on social media for updates amid mixed reports. Officials confirmed no shooter is in custody yet. The attack has shocked the university community, interrupting final exam preparations.
