Brown University went into full lockdown after shots rang out at the Barus and Holley engineering building, where students were grinding through finals. Owen Fick was out grabbing ice when he spotted cops in tactical gear swarming the area with a ton of ambulances and gurneys. Parents started freaking out while kids barricaded themselves in classrooms and dorms, frantically checking texts and social media for updates.
One freshman named Ansel Edison was working on his philosophy paper at the science library next door when everything popped off. His mom said he texted her about a friend trapped in the engineering building before cops banged on the library door and pulled everyone out. Student council president Talib Reddick said the building is usually packed with people studying, and he figured it was probably crowded since finals were happening.
