Brown Police Chief on Leave After Fatal Shooting, Federal Probe Begins

Brown University has placed its police chief on administrative leave. This follows a deadly shooting on the university's campus. The incident left two people dead and nine others injured. In response, the U.S. Department of Education has opened an investigation. Federal officials will examine whether Brown followed campus safety laws. University leaders stated the leave for Chief Rodney Chatman is a standard step. It allows for a full review of the police department's actions and protocols. The shooting has raised serious questions about campus security. The federal investigation will focus on compliance with the Clery Act. This law requires colleges to report campus crime data and warn of threats. Brown University says it is cooperating fully with the investigation.
