As of now, the shooter is not in custody and there are no images of them. 2 Dead, 8 critical but stable confirmed. Early reports of 20+ victims based on scanner traffic have yet to be corroborated. Second shooting location was also unfounded. PD suspects one shooter in all black clothes. All other reporting is unfounded and likely based on misunderstanding of scanners or active misinformation.

Professional amateur and Giganerd. Engineering student but only okay at math. KC1MW on the air.
@larand I also thought that until I turned proton VPN off and then had to learn how to manage network interfaces because for some reason Proton doesn't clean up after itself. Still love Linux though.
What should cause concern in people's minds is that there was no city wide alert for non-Brown affiliated citizens at the city or state level or at least not by text, call or email.
For everyone's knowledge, apparently during the press conference it might have been mentioned that the doors to the Engineering building require swipe access. At the time the shooting was reported, exams were being held in the building so the exterior doors were likely unlocked and the large front door near where the shooting might have started is never locked this early in the day.
@Nonny I'm glad your family is okay. Everybody is very shaken at the moment.
@ai6yr For reference I'm a Brown student and live like 4 blocks from campus so I'm listening to the scanner and all my group chats for updates.
@ai6yr Providence PD suspects multiple shooters are possible with a new report of shots fired.
@ai6yr This is not confirmed scanner traffic is unclear and as of 5:11 the university says no suspect is in custody now. This just changed recently.
