Multiple people were shot Saturday in the area of Brown University, police in Rhode Island said, as the Ivy League school issued an active shooter alert and urged students and staff to take shelter during the second day of final exams.

Police did not immediately release details about the number of victims, their conditions or the circumstances of the shooting.

University officials initially told students and staff that a suspect was in custody, but later said that was not the case and police were still searching for a suspect or suspects, according to alerts issued through Brown's emergency notification system.
