This resolution honors the victims and survivors of a mass shooting that occurred on December 13, 2025, at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, where a gunman opened fire in a classroom during a final exam review session. Two students were killed—Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov—and nine others were injured. The resolution condemns the act of violence, expresses condolences to the victims and their families, and commends the numerous first responders from police, fire, and federal agencies who responded to the tragedy. The House also expresses solidarity with the Brown University community, the city of Providence, and the state of Rhode Island. This is a symbolic resolution with no funding or direct policy changes, but it represents Congress's formal recognition of the tragedy and includes a statement acknowledging that ending gun violence requires congressional action.
