A gunman opened fire at Brown University on Saturday during final exams on the Ivy League campus.

The shooting left two students dead and nine others injured. The suspect was dressed in black and was witnessed fleeing on foot.

Authorities believed the shooter used a handgun and fired shots near the Barus and Holley building, a seven story complex that houses the university’s school of Engineering and Physics Department.
