Incident Overview\nOn Saturday afternoon, a shooting occurred inside an academic building at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. The incident took place within the Barus & Holley engineering and physics building during final exams. Two students were killed and nine others sustained injuries.\n\n### Investigation and Detainment\nProvidence, R.I., officials reported on Sunday morning that a man in his 20s had been detained as a person of interest. A source with knowledge of the investigation identified the individual as Benjamin Erickson. Authorities have not released additional details regarding the individual or a potential motive.\n\nThe individual was detained Sunday morning in a hotel room located in Coventry, approximately 20 miles southwest of Brown University, following a lead provided by the Providence Police. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the detainment. Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez stated that investigators are not actively seeking additional suspects, but the investigation remains ongoing.\n\nPrior to the detainment, law enforcement had sought a suspect described as "a male dressed in black" who fled the scene on foot. The method of entry into the building was not immediately clear, though Brown University Provost Francis Doyle noted that card access is typically required, and there was likely significant traffic due to exams. Officials had also released a video depicting a person of interest walking away from the scene, though the individual's face was not visible.\n\n### University Response\nBrown University President Christina Paxson reported on Sunday that seven of the injured victims were in "critical but stable" condition, while one remained in critical condition. A ninth victim received hospital treatment and was subsequently discharged.\n\nFollowing the event, Brown University Provost Francis Doyle announced the cancellation of most remaining in-person exams for the fall semester. This decision was made to allow the university to focus on providing support to its community members. A shelter-in-place order for the Brown campus and surrounding areas was lifted on Sunday morning.\n\n### Official Statements\nProvidence Mayor Brett P. Smiley commented on the incident, acknowledging its impact on the community. President Trump also issued a statement from the White House, offering condolences to the victims and their families and wishing a swift recovery to the injured.
