The Ivy League institution issued an active shooter alert and urged students and staff to take shelter during the second day of final exams. Police did not immediately release details about the exact number of victims, their conditions or the circumstances of the shooting. University officials initially told students and staff that a suspect was in custody, before later saying that was not the case and that police were still searching for a suspect or suspects, according to alerts issued through Brown’s emergency notification system. President Donald Trump said late in the afternoon that he has been briefed on the shooting. Students were urged to shelter in place as police responded, and people were told to avoid the area.
