A burst of deadly gunfire on Brown University’s campus set off a manhunt that lasted more than five days and spanned three states this week. On Thursday night, the 125-hour manhunt that gripped the region came to a sudden, dramatic end when police discovered the suspected shooter dead by suicide inside a Salem, N.H., storage unit.

To understand what happened on Brown’s campus and beyond this week, we pieced together a timeline of events using dispatch audio, video from surveillance cameras and news conferences, and real-time social media posts.

Trump said elite universities were run by “Marxist maniacs” and vowed to take them back. Harvard would prove hard to break.

Few people could have predicted that President Trump would target Harvard, the world’s most powerful university, with the most severe set of sanctions ever imposed on a major institution. Fewer still could have anticipated how clearly the conflict would reflect the nation’s own conflicts over who we are and what we want to stand for.

How did Harvard find itself in this position? Since the summer, Globe reporters have studied this question, poring over legal filings, research reports, and campus surveys, and speaking with more than 150 people, including Harvard administrators, faculty, alumni, students, higher-education leaders, and public officials.

Massachusetts has long been seen as a promised land for people struggling with infertility. ⁠
⁠
In 1987, the state became the second in the nation to require insurers to cover fertility treatments, including IVF, which can cost between $15,000 and $25,000 per cycle without insurance. Today, it’s still one of only 16 states requiring insurance companies to pay for IVF.⁠
⁠
Yet more than 1 in 4 Massachusetts women of reproductive age – a group numbering in the hundreds of thousands – don’t have fertility coverage, according to a Globe analysis. ⁠
⁠
The holes in the system leave people struggling to find any pathway to parenthood.

Julia Phan had planned to ring in 2025 quietly, spending time with her dachshund and volunteering at a soup kitchen on New Year’s Day. But later that night, the 24-year-old texted her roommate, Aylee, with an update: Ran Duan, a titan of the Boston cocktail scene who regularly posted glimpses of his flashy lifestyle to thousands of Instagram followers, had invited her out with a group of friends to go to Roadrunner, a music venue in Brighton. ⁠
⁠
The next morning, Aylee got a phone call: Phan was dead. Her body had been found at Duan’s house in Burlington.⁠
⁠
For days, Phan’s friends and family struggled to make sense of it. The Phan they knew wasn’t the type to drink to excess or do club drugs. Burlington police weren’t sharing much about their investigation. And her inner circle hadn’t heard from Duan.⁠
