Person Of Interest In Brown University Shooting IDENTIFED

This is just in!

Authorities in Rhode Island have revealed they have identified the person of interest related to the Brown University shooting that left two dead and leaving nine others injured.

The person of interest has yet to be named as a suspect.

KATV provided the latest update on the person of interest:

Authorities reportedly identified a person of interest in connection to the deadly shooting at Brown University.

The Associated Press on Thursday said a name for the person of interest was not immediately released and no one was in custody.

The media outlet cited unnamed sources, adding that “investigators had identified a person of interest in the shootings and were actively seeking that individual.”

The news comes five days after the shooting, which took place at the Ivy League school in Rhode Island late on Saturday afternoon.

Two students were killed and nine others were hurt in a classroom in the school’s engineering building.

President Donald Trump questioned why the school doesn’t have more surveillance cameras on campus.

“Why did Brown University have so few Security Cameras? There can be no excuse for that,” he wrote on Truth Social. “In the modern age, it just doesn’t get worse!!!”

Brown President Christina Hull Paxson said there are 1,200 cameras on campus.

But according to Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha, the shooting happened in a first-floor classroom in an older part of the engineering building that has “fewer, if any” cameras.

Following the shooting, Brown has received backlash over its camera systems, per CNN:

Brown University says it has an “expansive network” of security cameras on campus, with more than 1,200 installed in buildings with both interior and exterior locations.

Despite that, a shortage of visuals from the school to aid the search for a gunman who killed two students and wounded nine others last Saturday has led to sharp questions about surveillance at Brown.

Law enforcement has released a series of videos from nearby homes and vehicles showing what the FBI has called an “unknown suspect,” but none of those appeared to come from Brown’s own surveillance cameras or from the building where the shooting took place.

Rhode Island’s attorney general explained Tuesday that at least part of the problem is due to the shooting taking place at the very edge of the school, in an older part of a building that has “fewer, if any” cameras.
