Several people were reported shot at the Rhode Island-based university.
US police confirmed on Saturday that “multiple” people had been shot after reports of an active shooting situation on Brown University’s campus in Providence.
“Multiple shot in the area of Brown University. This is an active investigation. Please shelter in place or avoid the area until further notice,” Providence Police wrote on X.

There were no immediate details about the victims’ conditions or the circumstances of the shooting.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, US President Donald Trump said “the FBI is on the scene” and that “the suspect is in custody,” only to later reverse the latter statement.
Earlier, officials said a suspect was in custody, but the school emergency alert system later said “police do not have a suspect in custody and continue to search for suspect(s).”
