Two dead.
Live updates: Multiple shot in area of Brown University, police say
The shooter remains at large after the university reversed an earlier alert that said that one person was in custody.


What we know
An active shooter was reported on or near the campus of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, the university’s public safety department said this afternoon.
Multiple people have been shot in the area of the university, Providence police said.
There is no suspect in custody, the university said in an updated alert this afternoon. It had earlier said that one person was in custody.

Of course, the mango menace announced they had the shooter in custody. I guess Kash was at a concert. Right now the university is advising shelter in place.

I live just across the river from the campus. I spent a lot of time on that street in the 80s. Saturday night it was pretty busy. They still havent caught the shooter. Every single politician who sends thoughts and prayers needs a boot up their ass!

Likely a mental health issue. We need to address mental health.

Still waiting to find out if hatred incited.
