"CNN anchor Jessica Dean, at about 5:11 p.m. ET, reported one suspect was in custody. That report was based on one of the notifications from Brown's campus alert system, which was retracted minutes later by the university. President Donald Trump similarly posted on Truth Social the FBI is on the scene and that the suspect is in custody although Brown University put out a conflicting notification right after, saying the suspect had not been apprehended."
"Brown's campus alert system told students: Remember: RUN, if you are in the affected location, evacuate safely if you can; HIDE, if evacuation is not possible, take cover; FIGHT, as a last resort, take action to protect yourself. Stay tuned for further safety information. Campus police, as well as Providence cops, are on the scene. Brown's alert system said the shooter was spotted near the Barus and Holley engineering building."
A shooter on Brown University's campus killed two people and injured eight others Saturday evening. The suspect remains at large and was described by police as a male wearing black. Brown University issued alerts instructing students to lock doors, silence phones, and follow RUN, HIDE, FIGHT guidance. Conflicting notifications briefly reported a suspect in custody before being retracted, and social media posts added to confusion. Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said an individual initially thought involved was later determined to have no involvement. Campus police and Providence officers responded, and the shooter was reported near the Barus and Holley engineering building during final exams.
