The hunt for the gunman who killed two students and wounded nine others at Brown University has entered its fourth day, with authorities urging anyone with information to come forward.
The Incident
On Saturday, during final exams, a shooter dressed in black entered a classroom on the Brown University campus and opened fire. The attack resulted in two fatalities and left nine people wounded. The incident has prompted a large-scale manhunt and a community response.
The Search Continues
Providence police asked the public for help identifying a person of interest. A suspect was taken into custody on Sunday morning but was released later that night after authorities determined the evidence pointed “in a different direction.” The search for the gunman remains active.
New Surveillance Footage
Police released three videos that show a masked individual wearing a dark two‑tone jacket. The footage, captured roughly two hours before the shooting, provides the clearest images yet of the suspect. The videos are being circulated as part of the investigation.
FBI Reward
The Federal Bureau of Investigation described the suspect as about 5 feet, 6 inches tall with a stocky build. The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information that leads to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the person responsible for the attack.
Community Response
A church on the university campus announced it would host a “Community Service of Lament, Healing and Hope” on Tuesday night. The event is intended to bring together students, faculty, and community members to mourn, reflect, and support one another.
