Authorities have identified a person of interest in the shooting linked to Brown University that left two people dead and nine others injured, according to law enforcement officials handling the investigation.
Police said the identification came as investigators pieced together evidence from the scene, witness accounts, and surveillance footage. The shooting triggered a large police response, including campus lockdowns and coordinated efforts between local, state, and federal agencies.
Officials have not confirmed whether the person of interest has been formally charged, noting that the investigation remains active. Law enforcement is working to establish a clear timeline of events, determine a motive, and assess whether additional individuals may have been involved.
Brown University officials expressed condolences to the victims and their families and said counseling and support services have been made available to students and staff. Campus operations were disrupted as authorities continued their work.
Police said further details will be released as appropriate once investigators complete key interviews and evidence reviews related to the case.
