Agence France-Presse

A suspect in Saturday’s shooting at Brown University that left two people dead and nine injured has been arrested after an extensive manhunt, NBC said.
The shooting took place in a classroom on Saturday, on the second day of final exams for the autumn term at the Ivy League institution, which has a student population of about 11,000.
Surveillance footage released by authorities showed the alleged shooter walking away from the Providence, Rhode Island campus.
In the brief clip the person, whose face is not visible, is dressed in dark, loose-fitting trousers and jacket, and wearing a knitted cap.
A man believed to be responsible for the incident has been taken into custody, NBC reported early on Sunday, citing senior police officers briefed on the matter.
The man had a unique characteristic on his firearm and that firearm was found when he was taken into custody, NBC added.

Brown University President Christina Paxson said she was informed the two who died and at least eight of those injured were students.
Hundreds of police officers had hunted for the attacker, plunging the eastern US campus into lockdown.
The streets around the university were filled with emergency vehicles hours after the shooter opened fire.
US President Donald Trump was briefed on the shooting.
“What a terrible thing it is,” he said. “All we can do right now is pray for the victims.”
The violence is the latest in a long line of school attacks in the United States, where attempts to restrict access to firearms face political deadlock.
Witness Katie Sun told the Brown Daily Herald student newspaper she was studying in a nearby building when she heard gunfire. She ran to her student accommodation, leaving all her belongings behind.
“It was honestly quite terrifying. The shots seemed like they were coming from … where the classrooms are,” she said.

Hundreds of police ranging from FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) agents to university officers swarmed the quaint New England campus.
“I can confirm that there are two individuals who have died this afternoon and there are another eight in critical status, though stable,” Providence Mayor Brett Smiley told a press conference.
A ninth person who “received fragments from the shooting” was later taken to the hospital, authorities said.
“My heart breaks for the students who were looking forward to a holiday break and instead are dealing with another horrifying mass shooting,” Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse posted on social media.
There have been more than 300 mass shootings in the US so far this year, including Saturday’s one, according to the Gun Violence Archive, which defines a mass shooting as four or more people shot.

Final exams scheduled for Sunday have been postponed, university officials said.
The shooting took place at the Barus and Holley building, home to the engineering and physics departments, on the grounds of the Ivy League university.
Two exams had been scheduled to take place in the building at the time of the shooting, the university said.
Brown sent an emergency alert at 4.22pm reporting “an active shooter near Barus and Holley Engineering”.
“Lock doors, silence phones and stay hidden until further notice,” it said.
Police and first responders swarmed the scene, with local news station WPRI reporting “clothing and blood on the pavement”.
The deadliest school shooting in US history took place at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007, when South Korean student Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 people and wounded 17 others before taking his own life.
