Survivor’s Eva Erickson Details Last Minute Escape From Brown University Shooting
Eva Erickson is recounting one of the scarier moments of her life.
The Survivor season 48 alum shared how she narrowly escaped the shooting at Brown University on Dec. 13 that tragically left two people dead and nine others wounded.
As Eva explained in a video posted to Instagram Dec. 13, she happened to leave her graduate office around 4 p.m., minutes before she said the shooting started in the building. By then, she was already gone and instead sheltered in the school’s indoor track and basketball area.
The 25-year-old recalled, “I was leaving the building within five minutes of the shooter coming in.”
In a follow-up video, Eva—who is currently a PhD candidate in engineering and fluid and thermal science at the Ivy League university—shared that she was only allowed to return to her off-campus residence at around 1:30 in the morning.
“On campus today has just been so eerie,” she added. “Everybody is leaving. Everyone is trying to get the hell away from Brown to get home to their families where they can feel safe.”
