The university president says the shooting took place in the middle of a final exam review session at the University's Engineering and Physics Building. There's a huge response immediately. You just look out the window, there's tons of cop cars, tons of fire trucks. It was a lot.

As some students evacuated, Brown's campus, normally open and walkable, became a place to hide, the sense of security at this Ivy League institution now broken. We have a lot of recovery ahead of us. So my main goal in the coming days and weeks and months-- it will take a long time-- is to bring people back together and help them feel safe and secure on campus. And there is still no word yet on a motive. But according to one law enforcement source, the person of interest is 24 and did not attend Brown University. Now, meanwhile, all remaining final exams have been postponed as investigators work with prosecutors to collect more evidence and conduct more interviews. Margaret. That's Tom Hanson, reporting from Providence, Rhode Island.
