< warm> robert brown University shot update: constabulary have identified a suspect who killed two people and injured several others on the Providence campus last weekend, Reuters reported, citing sources. Now, investigators are also looking at a possible link between the Brown University shooting and the murder of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor near Boston. Officials have, however, not released the name of the shooter.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, officers in SWAT gear were seen surrounding a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire. The Reuters source said that it was in relation to the Brown University probe.
Brooke Taylor of Fox News reported that officials are at the facility where the suspected shooter's abandoned car was found.
“Direct high level source on the ground says they are about to enter the storage facility and the reason you saw all the officers in the parking lot just standing there was because they were watching surveillance footage to see whether the suspected was in the storage facility still. ATF, FBI, and Providence Police all on scene,” Taylor posted on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.
While there is no official statement on the matter, Taylor added that there is no new arrest. “Direct high level source on the ground tells me they have NOT made contact with the suspected shooter,” she tweeted.
The deadly attack unfolded Saturday, when a gunman armed with a rifle stormed an academic building during exam season and opened fire before escaping.
Those killed were identified as Ella Cook, the vice president of Brown’s Republican Party association, and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, an international student from Uzbekistan who aspired to become a neurosurgeon. Several others were wounded in the attack. Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said one victim remained in critical but stable condition, five were listed as stable, and two had already been released from the hospital.
With few clear leads, investigators circulated images of a person of interest as well as another individual seen nearby, hoping public tips might help identify the shooter. Police briefly detained one man in the aftermath, but later confirmed he was not involved and released him.
