On Saturday, December 13, a shooting inside a Brown University building in Providence, Rhode Island, left two people dead and eight others seriously injured, Mayor Brett Smiley said.
Federal, state and university authorities launched a campus-wide search after the attack, locking down buildings and stepping up patrols 🔍🚔. Students were asked to stay in place and follow official alerts.
For many in South Asia and Southeast Asia, this tragedy is a stark reminder of how campus safety can be fragile—even at top schools abroad. Social media is now buzzing with messages of solidarity, with #PrayForBrown and #CampusSafety trending on X and Instagram 📱❤️.
Beyond the headlines, it’s a call to check in on friends studying overseas. A quick text or call can make all the difference in tough times 💬.
Our thoughts are with the Brown University community and all affected. Stay safe and support each other.
