"In a "healing and recovery effort" announcement Monday, Brown President Christina Paxson said that all injured students had been released from the hospital. Previously, one person who suffered gunshot wounds was listed in critical but stable condition, which improved Thursday, five days after the shooting. A campus-wide service is being planned for late January, Paxson said, to remember Cook and Umurzokov."
""The outpouring of love and support for their families from the Brown and Providence communities has been deeply moving, and we continue to hold them in our hearts," Paxson wrote. "As we process our grief for Ella and Mukhammad, we will memorialize them, as well as the experiences of the nine injured students, in a campus-wide service." Paxson introduced Brown Ever True, an initiative to increase support for students by expanding mental health services and enhancing school security."
A gunman entered a study session in the Barus & Holley engineering and physics building at Brown University on Saturday, Dec. 13, and fired 40 rounds from a 9 mm handgun, killing two students and injuring nine. The deceased were Ella Cook, a sophomore from Alabama, and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, a first-year dual U.S. citizen from Uzbekistan. All injured students have been released from the hospital, including one who was previously in critical but stable condition. A campus-wide memorial service is planned for late January. Brown announced the Brown Ever True initiative to expand mental health services, enhance campus security, and provide additional counseling for faculty and staff. Barus & Holley and other engineering and physics buildings will reopen in January.
