'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 Saturday, a gunman opened fire inside a Brown University engineering building classroom, firing more than 40 rounds from a 9 mm handgun, killing two students and injuring nine.
  • The incident occurred amid final exams, triggering a campus 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, who recently graduated from Midlothian High School, Central Virginia, and survived an eight-hour brain surgery inspiring his neurosurgery aspiration.
  • Brown University canceled all remaining classes, exams, papers and projects for the semester and told students they could leave campus, while Uzbekistan's Foreign Affairs Ministry confirmed Umurzokov's death Monday, calling it `a heavy loss for all of us`.
  • Relatives launched a GoFundMe for funeral costs as Umurzokov's sister and the American Uzbekistan Association called his loss an `immeasurable void`.
