All Buffalo Bills players and staff remain in their hotel, team sources say, after a gunman dressed in black shot 10 people, killing two of them, at Brown University, less than 2 miles from where the team was staying Saturday night.
Police said the shooter remained at large hours after opening fire inside an engineering building on the college campus. The Bills are staying nearby in downtown Providence ahead of Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass.
The university sent out an alert at 4:22 p.m. telling students and faculty to shelter in place after reports of an active shooter at the Barus and Holley engineering building, and the search for the shooter stretched into late Saturday night.
The Patriots and Bills have been in communication since news of the shooting first arose, sources tell The Athletic. The Patriots sent out a statement on social media not long after the shooting expressing their sympathy to all of those involved.
