A shooting at Brown University on Saturday, December 13, 2025, left two people dead and eight critically injured, according to Providence Mayor Brett Smiley. The incident has sparked chaos and confusion, with authorities scrambling to address contradictory updates about the suspect’s status.

This conflicting information has left students, families, and the global community on edge.
