A Brown University sophomore who was killed in an attack at the Rhode Island university was remembered Monday as "smart, confident, curious, kind, principled, brave", at a funeral in her home state of Alabama.

Hundreds gathered at the Cathedral Church of the Advent in downtown Birmingham to remember Ella Cook, 19. She and freshman MukhammadAziz Umurzokov, 18, were killed Dec 13 when a gunman entered a study session in a Brown academic building and opened fire on students. Nine other students were wounded.
