Two people have died and nine others have been injured in a shooting at a US university.

The gunman, who remains at large, opened fire inside a building at Brown University, Rhode Island, around 9pm (UK time).

People were seen running out of the engineering building, where students were taking a final economics exam.

Police released CCTV footage of a person they believe is the shooter, though their face is not visible.

The person is seen walking with his back to the camera and turning the corner on Hope Street, where the engineering building is located.

The campus and surrounding area remain in lockdown, though many restaurants and businesses in Providence closed early on Saturday.
