The ongoing investigation into the shocking mass shooting at Brown University has entered its fourth day, with no suspect apprehended.
Rhode Island's Democrat Attorney General, Peter Neronha, showed visible irritation when confronted with a barrage of questions from reporters. Among the queries was one concerning the removal of a pro-Palestine activist's profile from the Brown University website, a move that has raised eyebrows.
As reported by The Gateway Pundit, Ella Cooke, a 19-year-old sophomore at Brown University, was one of the victims of this horrific attack. A devout Christian hailing from Alabama, Cooke served as the Vice President of Brown's Republican Club. The second victim of the shooting has been identified as Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, an 18-year-old immigrant from Uzbekistan.
Fox News host Jesse Watters raised some unsettling questions that are now on the minds of many Americans. He stated, "The family of Ella Cooke, the Alabama young woman who was a sophomore, has been told that she was the target of what happened at Brown. I have no idea whether thats true. But if police are telling students they are safe and dont need to shelter in place while they dont have a suspect in custody that suggests this was a targeted attack."
Watters also brought attention to reports suggesting that the shooter might have yelled "Allahu Akbar" before commencing the attack. However, the police have yet to confirm these details. He expressed his disbelief, saying, "A guy walks into an Ivy League building, fires off 40 rounds, murders two people, walks out and three days later, they have no idea who he is. They wont even say if it was a man or a woman. Police first claimed they had a white Army veteran detained then admitted, Oops, wrong guy."
As the police continue to withhold information from the public, online detectives noticed that Brown University had removed profiles linked to a self-proclaimed "Free Palestine" and LGBTQ activist from its website. However, it is important to note that no individual mentioned in this report has been charged in connection with the crime unless explicitly stated by law enforcement.
When questioned about the sudden removal of these profiles, Rhode Island AG Peter Neronha responded defensively. He cautioned the public against "reading into things," insisting that if the activists name were relevant, law enforcement would be "out looking for that person." He urged the public to focus on aiding the police in identifying the shooter, despite the scant information released by the authorities.
Neronha stated, "I have a question about that name, and I know the name that youre asking about because a member of the media asked me about it. I am familiar with it. I wasnt familiar with it when the media member asked me about itI think it was either CBS or NBC. I asked my team about it, and I think this is an area where caution is really necessary."
He continued, "If that name meant anything to this investigation, we would be out looking for that person, and we would let you know we were looking for that person. Again, I think its just a really dangerous road to go down. I know that in todays age there are lots of things that people read into things. Its just a dangerous thing to do. I would leave it to us to identify persons of interest and let us run them down."
Brown University's President, Christina Paxson, claimed ignorance regarding the removal of the profiles. The university issued a statement condemning the online doxxing of a student and clarified that the individual being named publicly is not a suspect in the shooting.
The statement read, "In the aftermath of the shooting, weve seen harmful doxxing activity directed toward at least one member of the Brown University community. Its important to make clear that targeting individuals could do irrevocable harm. Accusations, speculation and conspiracies were seeing on social media and in some news reports are irresponsible, harmful, and in some cases dangerous for the safety of individuals in our community."
The statement further emphasized that it is not unusual to take steps to protect an individual's safety, including their online presence, when such activity occurs. It reiterated that if the individual's name had any relevance to the ongoing investigation, law enforcement would be actively seeking this individual and providing information to the public.
