Near Barus and Holley Streets. AP reports shooter in custody.
BREAKING: As of 5:11PM the university is posting that no suspect is in custody.
BREAKING: The university is apparently in lock down and police are in process of searching the buildings in the vicinity of the engineering department.
Awaiting official word that Engineering Building has been cleared.
Police scanners are describing it as a “mass casualty event”.
BREAKING: Reports of additional shots fired on Governors Street.
Students are being urged to continue sheltering in place.
For those of you with accounts, this is the link to the university’s X account:
Oh, now Trump is involved:
Of course making it worse as Brown is still not saying they have a suspect in custody and telling students to still shelter in place.
NBC News:
His time stamp is a mess. It’s not 10:45 pm yet on December 13…
Getting reports of at least 2 dead but multiple non-gunshot wounded.
Prayers up.
Any reliable sources? My son just graduated and I’m an alum. Heart breaking.
He’s reversed his statement and is blaming Brown police for misinformation
I would rely on the Brown x (aka Twitter) account for official updates:
Thank you.
Also, a news conference is reportedly scheduled shortly on CNN.
ETA: It’s started.
2 dead and 8 in critical condition. Shelter in place still in effect.
When this kind of thing happens, everything is chaotic. We’ve had a high school shooting, a college shooting and a church shooting in my area in the past few years. Tips flood police, and they have to check out everything. People have to hang tight until things shake out in order to get good information. It does not appear that Brown police said that the lockdown was over when they said they had a suspect in custody - and they didn’t say “the” suspect - so indicating that they thought they had a suspect when they did not didn’t put anyone in danger. That’s the important thing.
The report of shots at Governors Street has also been retracted.
ETA: I’m seeing live helicopter shors of students sheltering in place in the Sci-Li.
Prayers Up. Ever True.
