At least two people were killed, and eight were injured in a shooting at Brown University's campus in Providence, Rhode Island, according to the city's mayor.
"Sadly, today is a day that the city of Providence and the state of Rhode Island prayed would never come," Mayor Brett Smiley said during a news conference on the evening of Saturday, Dec. 13. "We've heard about horrific acts of gun violence and active shooter situations in other places, but not here."
Smiley confirmed the two deaths and said the eight are in critical, yet stable, conditions at Rhode Island Hospital. He advised that the numbers may change as authorities are "still in early hours."
Jack DiPrimio, a 23-year-old student in the university's Master of Public Affairs program, said he was in an academic building listening to music and applying for jobs on his laptop when he received an alert text message to take cover.
