Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said seven people who were injured in the incident remained in a stable condition, one of them is in critical condition, and another was discharged.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The gunman opened fire in a classroom at around 16:00 local time (21:00 GMT) on Saturday at the Holley engineering building at the eastern end of Brown’s campus, according to officials.<\/p>\n
The identities of those killed and <\/b>most of the injured <\/b>have not yet been released, but Brown University President Christina Paxson told reporters on Saturday that all the victims, including those killed and wounded, were students.<\/p>\n
In an email to staff on Sunday, the head of Durham Academy, a private school in North Carolina, said one of their alumna, Kendall Turner, was injured in the attack, US media reported. <\/p>\n
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Kendall, her family, and all members of the Brown University community during this incredibly difficult time,” said Michael Ulku-Steiner.<\/p>\n
In a statement released by the university on Sunday, Paxson said some areas of campus were still restricted as police continued their investigations. <\/p>\n
Around 2,000 students were relocated to safe locations overnight, she said, adding that she was “deeply moved” by students and locals who opened up their homes.<\/p>\n
Paxson said the families of the two students killed were being supported. <\/p>\n
“There are not enough words of comfort for families who lose a child, but we will do all we can,” she added. <\/p>\n
In a news conference on Sunday, Smiley said an earlier order for residents to shelter had now been lifted. <\/p>\n
The mayor said he had met with victims and their families in the hospital and was “overwhelmed” by their “courage, hope, and gratitude”.<\/p>\n
A vigil will be held on Sunday evening for the community. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Police had earlier released CCTV footage of a male suspect walking away from the scene wearing all black clothing. Officers said a firearm was not found in a sweep of the building.<\/p>\n
In a post on X, FBI director Kash Patel said the suspect was detained at a hotel in Coventry, in the early hours of Sunday morning based on a lead from Providence Police.<\/p>\n
Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez confirmed on Sunday that officers were not looking for anyone else and were working with prosecutors to collect evidence.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of police officers and federal agents were sent to Providence on Saturday to find the suspect. <\/p>\n
Speaking at the White House, President Trump said he hoped the nine injured students “get well fast” and paid respects to the families of the two people who died. <\/p>\n
The attack on the Ivy League university brings the number of mass shootings to 389 in the US for this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive.<\/p>\n
It defines mass shootings as having four or more victims killed or injured, not including the attacker.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
