I think maybe intellectually we knew it could happen anywhere, including here, but that's not the same as it happening in our community.

Providence Mayor Brett Smiley announced Sunday morning that a person of interest was in custody, but police didn't share any details about the man.

Smiley said the shooting, which occurred at a Brown University building where final exams were taking place, came as a shock to the city.

Brown University President Christina Paxson said Saturday evening that at least 10 of the 11 victims were students.

The Ivy League school canceled exams after the shooting, and authorities said Sunday morning they had lifted the shelter-in-place order for the campus.
