Students on college campuses should be preparing for final exams and winter break — not enduring yet another all too familiar tragedy caused by gun violence.
There are reports of an active shooter at Brown University in Providence, RI, where students are sheltering in place. We’re heartbroken that, yet again, students, parents, educators, and staff are experiencing the terror of gun violence at an American school.
Live updates: Brown University warns of active shooter on campus
Brown University issued an urgent alert about a reported active shooter near campus today. Police later said one suspect was in custody.
