Tonight on PBS News Weekend, police take a person of interest into custody in connection

with the mass shooting at Brown University that killed two students and wounded nine others.

Then there are at least 15 victims in a shooting that targeted Australia's Jewish community

as hundreds gathered to celebrate the first day of Hanukkah.

And a very good dog with prosthetic paws inspires Ukrainian soldiers as they recover from the wounds of war.

You feel a sense of emotional relief, especially with a dog here on prosthetics, just like us.

It's truly wonderful.

Good evening. I'm John Yang. Tonight, two communities, half a world apart, are struggling with the aftermath of a mass shooting.

In Sydney, two gunmen killed at least 15 people celebrating Hanukkah on Australia's most famous beach.

Authorities call it a terrorist attack on Jewish Australians.

And we begin in Providence, Rhode Island,

where two Brown University students were killed and nine others wounded

when a man opened fire in a classroom where a review session

for an economics exam was going on.

Authorities say a person of interest, described as a man in his 20s, was taken into

custody at a hotel about 20 miles from Providence. Today, police patrolled the streets around the

Brown University campus as snow fell. It was a stark contrast to last night when police responded

in force to reports of an active shooter. They searched the campus

for a suspect. Students were told to shelter in place, for some that met a classroom. Others were

escorted to an athletic center. Engineering student, Chiang Heng Qian, was working in a lab when the

alert went out. We decided to close all the doors and turn also light up and hide under the desks and

wait for the next notification.
