Authorities have unveiled initial images of the suspect accused of a brutal shooting spree at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, where several students fell victim.
The tragic incident unfolded during the second day of final exams, leaving the campus community in shock and mourning.
According to The Gateway Pundit, the shooting resulted in the deaths of two individuals, with at least eight others sustaining injuries. NBC News reports that those injured remain in critical but stable condition. In response to the attack, a shelter-in-place order was enforced for the vicinity of Brown University, persisting for several hours as law enforcement searched for the perpetrator.
Students were eventually evacuated from the campus at 8:45 p.m. ET. Initially, there was confusion regarding the suspect's status, with Brown University retracting an earlier statement that a suspect had been apprehended, confirming instead that the shooter remains at large.
The suspect is described as a "male dressed in all black," though further details are scarce. This lack of information has sparked frustration, as both Brown University and Providence Police face criticism for their handling of the situation.
Late on Saturday, Providence police released video footage of the alleged gunman, captured on a cell phone camera. The video shows the suspect nonchalantly departing the crime scene, yet it fails to reveal any discernible facial features.
The FBI has now joined the investigation, raising hopes that their expertise will lead to the capture of the individual responsible for this heinous act. The community remains on edge, yearning for justice and answers in the wake of this senseless violence.
