"Tension mixed with grief and frustration in Providence on Monday around the Brown University campus, after authorities said they were still searching for a suspect who killed two students. Nine additional students were injured in Saturday's shooting on the Ivy League campus in Rhode Island, which is woven into the heart of the city's East Side neighborhood, a community that to many feels more like a small town than the capital city of the smallest state in the US."
"The sound of a helicopter hovering overhead mixed with sirens throughout the day as federal and local law enforcement officers could be seen canvassing businesses to ask for the location of cameras and sweeping properties in the neighborhood with a dog. It's so tense, said Jennifer Kandarian, manager of Books on the Square, a short walk from where the shooting occurred."
Two students were killed and nine others injured in a shooting on Brown University's campus on Saturday, and authorities continue searching for the suspect. Federal and local law enforcement canvassed businesses for camera footage, swept neighborhood properties with dogs, and maintained an aerial presence with helicopters and sirens. Residents expressed tension, grief and frustration after a detained man was released. Rumors of a second shooting proved unfounded; police said a boiler backfired but cleared the building as a precaution and set a perimeter. Several private schools closed and after-school activities were canceled while public schools remained open with increased security.
