A list of deadly shootings on college campuses in the U.S.
A shooting on Saturday (December 13, 2025) at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, left two people dead and at least eight other critically injured. Authorities were still searching for a suspect in the hours afterward.
The shooting occurred on Saturday (December 13, 2025) afternoon in a campus building with final exams underway. The suspect was dressed in black and left the building on foot, officials said.
The violence prompted a shelter-in-place order for the larger university area. Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said “we have all available resources” to find the suspect.
“Sadly, today is a day that the city of Providence and the state of Rhode Island prayed would never come,” the mayor said. “We've heard about horrific acts of gun violence and active shooter situations in other places, but not here.”
Brown is a private institution with roughly 7,300 undergraduate students and more than 3,000 graduate students.
Here is a look at other deadly shootings on U.S. college campuses in recent decades:
