Terror gripped the Ivy League campus of Brown University on Saturday afternoon as a peaceful day of final exams descended into chaos, leaving two people dead and sparking a desperate manhunt for a gunman who remains at large. What was meant to be a quiet period of academic focus in Providence, Rhode Island, was shattered by gunfire, sending students fleeing for their lives and locking down the university in a state of high alert that extended late into the night.
Law enforcement authorities have launched a massive operation to locate the perpetrator behind the deadly attack at the Barus and Holley engineering building. The suspect, captured on chilling surveillance footage fleeing the scene, has been described by police as a male figure clad entirely in black clothing.
