At Least Four Dead in Public Shoo.ting
Campus Shooting
On Saturday, December 13, 2025, a routine day at Brown University ended when
“gunfire erupted inside the Barus & Holley engineering building.”
Students and faculty fled or barricaded themselves as police and emergency crews rushed in.
Casualties and Response
Authorities confirmed that “two students had been killed and nine others wounded,” with several hospitalized.
Brown issued emergency alerts and ordered a “campus-wide lockdown”
while officers searched for the suspect, who fled on foot.
Investigation Expands
Local, state, and federal agencies launched a major probe,
reviewing evidence and releasing images of a person of interest with a $50,000 reward.
Investigators also explored a possible link to a later killing near MIT, though none was confirmed.
Healing and Reflection
Vigils, counseling, and added security followed.
As classes slowly resume, memorials remain and “the search for justice moves forward alongside a
collective effort to support one another and prevent future tragedy.”
