Brown University got hit with a shooting that killed somebody and left eight people hurt, and the gunman just vanished into Providence after walking out onto Hope Street wearing all black. The campus sits on a hill without any fences blocking it off from the rest of the city, which probably made it pretty easy for the shooter to bail.
The school has been getting wrecked by Trump for months after he tried to yank over half a billion in research money because of antisemitism claims during the Palestine protests. Brown caved and made a deal to get the funding back, but that pissed off a bunch of students and faculty who thought the university was rolling over for the administration.
The whole divestment thing from companies tied to Israeli military operations got shot down by the board, even though some Jewish students were pushing for it. Brown later put out some statement saying they are staying out of global conflicts and just sticking to education stuff.
