Multiple people have been shot in the area of the university, Providence police said.
There is no suspect in custody, the university said in an updated alert this afternoon. It had earlier said that one person was in custody.

Maybe they can get Kash Patel to loan them one of his planes?

Of course, the mango menace announced they had the shooter in custody. I guess Kash was at a concert. Right now the university is advising shelter in place.

I live just across the river from the campus. I spent a lot of time on that street in the 80s. Saturday night it was pretty busy. They still havent caught the shooter. Every single politician who sends thoughts and prayers needs a boot up their ass!

Likely a mental health issue. We need to address mental health.

Still waiting to find out if hatred incited.

Wasn't the argument in stripping away our privacy that we'd all be "safer" as a result?
