Rhode Island

Rhode Island is in the news primarily due to a mass shooting at Brown University in Providence. The shooting resulted in the deaths of two students and injuries to nine others. A manhunt is underway for the suspect, described as a man dressed in black who fled on foot. The incident has shaken the Providence community and led to a shelter-in-place order. Separately, a federal judge has allowed Ørsted to resume work on its Revolution Wind offshore wind project, which had been halted by the Trump administration. This ruling is a legal setback for Trump's efforts to block offshore wind expansion. The project's resumption is significant for Rhode Island's renewable energy goals and economic development.
