Brown University Shootings

Early that afternoon, I read a college professor and mentioned how happy I was that there had been no school shootings in recent weeks - yet I felt one was imminent - even posting about it on my Facebook. A few hours later the shootings happened.

Two students were killed and nine others wounded as they
attended a review session in preparation for final exams.
