Multiple people have been reported injured in a shooting near the Ivy League campus in Providence, Rhode Island.
Mayor Brett Smiley of Providence, Rhode Island, has confirmed that two students have been killed and nine people were injured after an active shooter was reported on the campus of Brown University.
Exams were under way on Saturday when the shooting began on the Ivy League campus in the United States.
The suspect remains at large, according to Rhode Island officials. They described the perpetrator as a man dressed in black who left the scene on foot, and they added that no weapons have been recovered so far.
At a news conference, Smiley said that university leaders became aware of the shooting at about 4:05pm local time (21:05 GMT), when a 911 call was received by emergency responders.
“I can confirm that there are two individuals who have died this afternoon, and there are another eight in critical status, though stable, at Rhode Island Hospital,” Smiley said.
