### Summary of the Brown University Shooting (December 13, 2025)
On December 13, 2025, a mass shooting occurred at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, inside the Barus & Holley building (home to the School of Engineering and Physics Department). The incident happened around 4:00-4:05 p.m. ET during final exams period.
- **Casualties**: 2 students killed, 9 injured (8 critically but stable, 1 with non-life-threatening fragment injuries). All victims were confirmed as students by university officials.
- **Suspect**: A male dressed in all black (possibly dark clothing), fled on foot. As of late December 13/early December 14, the suspect remains at large. Police released limited surveillance footage showing a person of interest leaving the area, but no clear facial identification. No motive has been disclosed.
- **Response**: Campus lockdown and shelter-in-place order were issued (lifted gradually). Over 400 law enforcement personnel involved, including FBI. Manhunt ongoing with community tips encouraged.
- **Additional Details**: Building doors were reportedly unlocked due to ongoing exams. No internal video footage of the shooter has been mentioned publicly, despite campus having extensive surveillance (reports of 800+ cameras).
The X post you shared from @nicksortor (posted early December 14) features video from a late-night press conference where a reporter aggressively questions Brown University President Christina Paxson about the lack of basic information six hours after the shooting—specifically, whether the affected room was hosting an exam or another activity. Paxson responds that she does not know.
This clip has gone viral (over 22k likes, 4k reposts), sparking widespread criticism on X:
- Accusations of poor crisis leadership and incompetence.
- Claims linking it to "DEI hires" in university administration.
- Skepticism about the lack of surveillance footage despite heavy campus monitoring.
- Frustration over federal funding for universities amid perceived mismanagement.
Reactions highlight polarized views: some blame administrative priorities (e.g., DEI policies), others question transparency and security effectiveness. The incident is Rhode Island's first major school shooting in years, per reports from CNN and others.
This is a developing story—authorities continue investigating. Sources include CNN, NPR, NYT, Guardian, ABC, and local Providence updates.
