Brown University senior Ben Marcus describes losing a close friend in a campus mass shooting that killed two people and injured nine others.
A Brown University senior said he spent the night helping evacuate classmates after losing a close friend in a shooting at his school that left two people dead and nine others injured.
Ben Marcus told “Fox & Friends Weekend” on Sunday that he was celebrating Shabbat at Brown’s Hillel, a center for Jewish life on campus, when the building’s security guard rushed in with an urgent warning.
“None of us were on our phones. The security guard at the Hillel building just leaped into action, and he said, ‘Everyone upstairs, this is really serious. There’s a shooter'”, Marcus said.
He described sheltering with about 30 students for nearly seven hours and praised staff at both the Hillel and the university for keeping students safe and informed.
