Police in Providence say they have a person of interest in custody after a mass shooting at Brown University’s engineering building during final exams that left two students dead and nine others wounded. Brown University President Christina Paxson and Providence police announced campus-wide cancellations and expanded counseling services as investigators processed the scene. University officials canceled classes, exams, papers and projects for the remainder of the fall semester and told students they could leave campus. Law enforcement and the FBI led a multi-jurisdictional response; officials said the detained man was picked up at a Coventry hotel and that investigators recovered evidence including loaded magazines. The disruption occurred during a peak academic period, intensifying concerns about campus safety protocols and emergency response during finals.
