'Kind-hearted' Midlothian High grad was killed in Brown University shooting, family friend says

The shooter fired more than 40 rounds inside an engineering classroom, killing two students and wounding nine during final exams, police said.

  • On Sunday, a gunman opened fire inside a Brown University engineering classroom, firing over 40 rounds and killing two students; authorities arrested a person of interest, but no charges have been announced.
  • The incident occurred amid finals, triggering a lockdown that lasted into the night and was lifted early Sunday while local police continued searching as of Monday.
  • One victim was identified as 18-year-old freshman Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, described by family and friends as a promising scholar who dreamed of becoming a neurosurgeon, after surviving childhood brain surgery.
  • Brown University canceled all remaining classes, exams, papers and projects for the semester and told students they could leave campus as Uzbekistan's Foreign Affairs Ministry confirmed Umurzokov's death Monday, calling it `a heavy loss for all of us`.
  • Relatives launched a GoFundMe to cover funeral expenses as the American Uzbekistan Association and Umurzokov's sister remembered him as a bright, kind student whose loss leaves an `immeasurable void`.
