A gunman killed two Brown University students and wounded nine others during a Saturday campus attack; the suspect remained at large as the FBI offered a $50,000 reward and police continued an active manhunt. Brown evacuated thousands, suspended in-person finals and allowed students to leave for break while shelter‑in‑place orders and heavy law‑enforcement presence persisted. Major universities including Harvard and Yale tightened perimeter checks and increased patrols and coordination with federal authorities; officials said there were no specific outward threats but deemed extra security necessary while the investigation continues.
