A mass shooting at Brown University on December 13, 2025, left two people dead and nine others injured after a gunman opened fire inside the Barus & Holley engineering complex during final exams. The suspect, described as a man dressed in black, fled the scene and remains at large. Students and staff were placed on lockdown as police launched a large-scale manhunt.
Witnesses, including a senior teaching assistant whose classroom was attacked, described moments of panic as students hid or fled. Most victims were students, with several in critical or intensive care. Authorities are still investigating how the shooter gained access, and the campus remains shaken as the search continues.
