“This means keeping all doors locked and ensuring no movement across campus. The law enforcement response remains ongoing. Safety is the utmost and essential priority.”

The shooting reportedly occurred at 4 p.m., near an engineering building. The suspect, dressed in black, was last seen leaving on foot, Fox News quoted Providence Police Deputy Tim O’Hara as saying.

FBI Director Kash Patel said on X that the agency will update the public with more information once it is available.

“FBI personnel are on the scene and assisting this evening after the shooting at Brown University and we will provide all capabilities necessary. Please pray for all those involved,” Patel said.

The shooting occurred in the Barus & Holley building, a seven-story complex, Politico reported.

“According to the university’s website, the building includes more than 100 laboratories, dozens of classrooms and offices. Engineering design exams were underway there when the shooting occurred,” the website added.

On his Facebook page, Rhode Island Democratic Gov. Dan McKee weighed in.

“Our capital city experienced an unthinkable tragedy today. Our hearts are with the people of Providence and all those impacted,” McKee said.
