For a brief moment, everything went quiet.
No arguments.
No politics.
No blame.
Just a few words — heavy, restrained, and unusually somber.
“What a terrible thing it is… All we can do right now is pray.”
Those were the words delivered by former U.S. President Donald Trump after news began spreading of a horrifying incident that left multiple people injured and an entire community shaken.
At first, details were unclear. Reports were fragmented. Social media filled with confusion, fear, and unanswered questions. What happened? How bad was it? Who was affected?
Trump did not speculate. He did not point fingers. Instead, he focused on the victims — those injured, those fighting for their lives, and the families suddenly thrown into chaos.
“It’s a shame. It’s a shame.”
The tone was unmistakable.
As the hours passed, authorities confirmed the location: Brown University, one of the country’s most well-known academic institutions, suddenly became the scene of a mass shooting.
Students were rushed to safety. Emergency crews flooded the area. Parents waited anxiously for updates. A place associated with learning and tradition was abruptly transformed by violence.
Officials say several people were injured, some critically. Investigations are ongoing, and many questions remain unanswered.
What motivated the attack?
How was it able to happen?
And why does this keep repeating itself?
For now, even Trump’s message reflected the national mood — shock, sadness, and a sense of helplessness.
Prayer, silence, and waiting.
More details are expected to emerge as authorities continue their investigation.
