A Mysterious Shooting at Brown University

A person initially held for the Brown University shooting was let go. This means the search for the real shooter is back to square one. Two people died, and nine were hurt in the attack at the Barus and Holley building. This building is home to the School of Engineering and the Physics Department. Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha said, "We have a killer out there. " Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said there are no signs of more threats to the public. He also said the person of interest was released because there wasn't enough evidence to hold them. The search for the real shooter continues. Authorities had earlier announced the dramatic capture of a person of interest at a hotel in Coventry, Rhode Island. But they later said they didn't have enough evidence to keep this person in custody. They also said they didn't have more images of the suspect to share with the public.Seven people are in stable condition, one is in critical but stable condition, and one has been discharged. Officials have not identified the two people who died, but one victim was a member of a Birmingham, Alabama church community. All of the shooting victims are students, according to Brown University President Christina Paxson. She said this is a deeply tragic day for Brown and the local community. The university has canceled all remaining classes, exams, and projects for the fall 2025 semester. Providence police released a video of a man dressed in black last seen exiting the engineering building on the Hope Street side. A witness said the man was wearing a dark camouflage mask. Durham Academy, a private K-12 school in Durham, North Carolina, confirmed that a recent graduate, Kendall Turner, was critically wounded. The school said her parents were with her. Brown University is a private, nonprofit Ivy League institution with roughly 7, 300 undergraduate students and more than 3, 000 graduate students. Saturday was the second day of final exams for the fall semester.
