Authorities say two people were killed and eight others critically injured in the shooting that took place in a building where final exams were underway. The suspect was dressed in all black and left the building on foot.

At least two people have been killed and several others injured in a shooting at Brown University, a law enforcement source told The Associated Press. The official on Saturday could not publicly discuss details of the ongoing investigation and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity. 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.
