The UAE has condemned the shooting incident at Brown University in the state of Rhode Island that left two students dead and another nine people wounded at the US Ivy League school.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) reiterated the UAE’s strong rejection of such criminal acts and all forms of violence and terrorism aimed at undermining security and stability.
The Ministry also expressed its sincere condolences and sympathy to the families of the victims, and to the government and people of the US, as well as its wishes for a speedy recovery for the injured.
Providence police have detained a "person of interest" in connection with the Brown University shooting, but declined to share details about the individual as the probe remains active.
Seven people injured at Brown University are in stable condition, Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said. One remains in a critical but stable condition, while another has been discharged, he added.
