• At least two students were killed and nine people were injured when a shooter opened fire at Brown University, a private Ivy League research university in Providence, Rhode Island. • Authorities say they’re still searching for the shooter, who was described as a male dressed in black and is believed to have fled on foot. Residents have been told to stay inside. • The shooting happened at an engineering and physics building where students were taking their final exams. • President Donald Trump says he’s been briefed on the shooting. More than 400 law enforcement officers from local, state and federal agencies, including the FBI and ATF, are in the area near the scene of the incident. Freshman Shiney Mayanja evacuated from a building near the scene of the Brown University shooting at around 5pm ET on Saturday. She was with three friends studying for their final exams in a small room when they heard about the shooting.

A little-known civil rights office in the Department of Education that helps resolve complaints from students across the country about discrimination and accommodating disabilities has been gutted by the Trump administration and is now facing a ballooning backlog, a workforce that’s in flux and an unclear mandate.
