A somebody of stake was arrested overnight in telling to the lifelessly shot at Brown University at a hotel on Center of New England Boulevard, stated Kristy DosReis, a representative of the Providence Police Department.
The apprehended individual was identified following a tip provided to law enforcement, according to a source familiar with the investigation who spoke to ABC News. A federal source informed ABC News that the person is currently referred to as a person of interest, but expressed confidence that they are pursuing the correct leads.
Sources acquainted with the matter told ABC News that the individual in custody is not a student at the university.
“The people of Providence can breathe a little easier this morning,” Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said in a press conference.
The arrest came after a fatal mass shooting at the school's East Side campus on Saturday. In a statement, university president Christina H. Paxson said that the day was marred by “devastating gun violence,” with two students losing their lives and nine others being sent to local hospitals with injuries.
“Our hearts go out to them. This is a day of tremendous sorrow,” Paxson stated. “No parent or family member should ever have to endure a day like this.”
