Rachel Friedberg, an economics professor, told Ocean State Radio that the shooter entered a review session, yelled something, and started shooting.
She added, "Students started to scramble to try to get away from the shooter, trying to get lower down in the stadium seating, and people got shot."
Residents in the Brown University area were told to stay in their homes as the manhunt for the suspect continues.
