Dec. 14, 2025, 12:42 AM ESTBy Phil Helsel and Marin ScottFirst-year Brown University Benjamin DiBella was in the Sciences Library at the Providence college Saturday afternoon when someone yelled that there was an active shooter on campus.There was — but in a nearby building, Barus & Holley, where a gunman opened fire on people in a classroom, authorities said, killing two and wounding nine others. The manhunt for the shooter was ongoing early Sunday.DiBella went to the messaging board Sidechat, “and saw dozens of messages all only minutes old noting panic and gunshots,” DiBella said.Follow live updatesWhat followed was a lockdown on the 9th floor, where doors were barricaded and people scrolled news feeds for information over the next two-and-a-half hours, he said.“We were aware that police forces were gradually clearing the floors of the Sciences Library, and at times we heard them on floors above and beneath us,” DiBella said.The Ivy League college warned everyone on campus to shelter-in-place after reports of the active shooter came in at around 4:05 p.m., instructing them to lock doors and silence phones. They were to run, and fight, if absolutely necessary. The order was still in effect at midnight for the campus and surrounding neighborhoods. A perimeter had also been established, with people still waiting in administrative buildings for a law enforcement escort to leave.

He arrived home about an hour before the shooting and subsequent lockdown.“I definitely don’t feel comfortable going out of my dorm room just because they haven’t found the shooter,” Paduri, 19, of Texas, said. “Obviously, he could be anywhere.”All of Paduri’s friends are safe — but there were fears when one of them, who was in the engineering building, was marked online as still being there after the shooting.“It turns out he was able to get out, but just left his phone behind in the panic,” Paduri said. “It’s just horrifying that something like this has occurred so close to home, he said.Atman Shah, also a sophomore, and his friend Amber were staying with friends, six in all in a dorm where four normally live. He and Amber were having a meeting about a block away at a cafe when everyone started quickly leaving.“You saw police cars with lights and sirens going like 60 mph down a residential road, and that’s when we knew ‘OK, something serious is happening,’” said Shah, 19, of California. He said it seemed likely they would all spend the night in the room. The shock of the shooting and the panic of trying to reach friends who had left their phones behind had begun to ease by Saturday night, he said.”As time goes on, it just becomes a deep sadness,” Shah said.Paduri and Shah both said they are fortunate neither they or any of their friends were hurt, and their thoughts are with the victims.Both have some experience tangentially to shootings in public places that occurred when there was gunfire at malls where their friends either worked or were shopping.“But this hits a lot closer to home,” Paduri said. “It’s shocking.”Phil HelselPhil Helsel is a reporter for NBC News.Marin ScottMarin Scott is an Associate Reporter on the Social Newsgathering team.Matt Lavietes contributed.

Dec. 14, 2025, 2:52 AM ESTBy Dennis Romero and Sophie ComeauAmid the scores of fearful and worried students following Saturday’s shooting at Brown University were two who have been here before.Mia Tretta, 21, was shot following the 2019 mass shooting at Saugus High School, about 40 miles north of Los Angeles. A 16-year-old boy carried out that attack, killing two, including Tretta’s best friend, and injuring three before fatally shooting himself. Zoe Weissman, 20, attended Westglades Middle School, adjacent to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, when a former student opened fire at the latter, killing 17 in 2018.Follow live updates hereNeither Tretta nor Weissman expected to experience a mass shooting again.“No one in this country even assumes it’s going to happen to them,” Tretta said. “Once it happens to you, you assume or are told it will never happen again, and obviously that is not the case.”At Brown on Saturday, an unidentified gunman killed two students and injured another nine before fleeing. He remains at large.Weissman said she was at her dorm when a friend called to say students were running away from a campus building and a shooting was likely underway. She stayed put and said she has remained at her dorm room since she first heard the news.“At first, I was panicked,” Weissman, a sophomore pre-med student, said in a phone interview. “Once I knew a little more and I didn’t feel there was imminent danger, I felt numb — exactly how I did when I was 12.”Tretta, a junior, said she chose Brown because she believed its smaller size would translate to greater safety. But the trauma of her injury followed her to Brown even before Saturday’s attack. She said she can’t enter a library on campus alone for fear that another shooting could happen.Both students have turned fear into anger and are outspoken about gun violence.Weissman has become an activist calling for greater gun regulation. When she was 16, she was president of March for Our Lives in Parkland, a chapter of the group co-founded by Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor David Hogg.“I’m angry that I thought I’d never have to deal with this again, and here I am eight years later,” Weissman said.Weissman said the activism helps her heal, and her experience draws attention to gun regulation.“I think the fact this is my second shooting can be very impactful for people,” she said. “When people put a face to something, they care a lot more.”Tretta said the day she was shot in 2019 changed her life forever. “I have not been the same person I was that day ever again,” she said, “and I assume it won’t be any different for the students at Brown.”Dennis RomeroDennis Romero is a breaking news reporter for NBC News Digital.Sophie ComeauSophie Comeau is an associate booking producer with NBC News.Phil Helsel contributed.
