One Brown student recalled barricading for four hours in the Sciences Library building after a gunman shot and killed two students at a nearby engineering building on Saturday.
Three days after two Brown University students were shot and killed and nine others were wounded in a mass shooting, the gunman remained at large — and students say the Ivy League college campus they had considered a safe place no longer feels the same.
Talia Levine, a senior at Brown University studying international and public affairs, told CBS News on Monday that she was on the 11th floor of the Sciences Library with her friends when the shooting occurred at the nearby engineering building.
« This has been my home for the past eight years, and I think it is so deeply concerning to feel unsafe here, probably for the first time in my life », the Providence, Rhode Island, local said. « Overall, the sentiment among students has just been deep-rooted distress and fear that this could happen in a place we consider so safe and our home. »
Levine recalled barricading for two hours on Saturday before a SWAT team came and cleared the floor. The students were then transferred to the basement, where they waited for another two hours, she said.
