NEW YORK — An active shooter is on the campus of Brown University, with the Ivy League school in the northeastern state of Rhode Island saying one suspect was in custody.
“There’s an active shooter situation near Barus and Holley. Brown and Providence Police are on scene,” the school says in an emergency alert, urging people to shelter in place.
“One suspect in custody. Lock doors, silence phones and stay hidden until further notice.”
The prestigious university in Providence, near Boston, has about 11,000 students.
Two Palestinian suspects who were driving on a road leading to the West Bank settlement of Beit El were detained a short while ago, the army says.
The IDF says that in their vehicle, troops found knives and an axe.
The two were handed over to the police for further questioning, the army adds.
Hundreds of Arab residents of Jaffa march in protest after a pregnant woman from the community was allegedly pepper-sprayed by Jews while she was driving her car in the city’s Ajami neighborhood earlier today.
Footage published by the Arab48 news site shows protesters marching to the site of the attack while chanting: “Tell the Shin Bet dogs, we’re not afraid of conflict.”

Speaking to the protesters, former lawmaker and Tel Aviv-Jaffa council member Sami Abu Shehadeh accuses the government of complicity in the attack, which he says included verbal abuse and spitting on the woman, according to Arab48.
“This assault is not an individual incident, but rather a new episode in a systematic policy targeting the people of Jaffa and our Palestinian nation at large,” says Abu Shehadeh, head of the Palestinian nationalist Balad party, Arab48 reports.
“We hold the police and Israeli government fully responsible for this assault, and for every assault like it,” says Abu Shehadeh. “Official silence is complicity in the crime.”
Abu Shehadeh refers to the assailants as settlers. It’s unclear if his intention is to Jews living in the West Bank, in Jaffa, or in Israel generally.
