1 day ago
Two students are dead and nine others wounded following a shooting at Brown University over the weekend. Authorities in Providence said Sunday night that a person of interest detained in connection with the attack will be released after investigators determined there was no basis to hold him.
The announcement came during a late-night news conference, more than 12 hours after police initially said someone had been taken into custody. During the incident, students and staff on the Ivy League campus were ordered to shelter in place while law enforcement conducted a massive search for the shooter.
Officials now say there is no current suspect and are renewing efforts to identify the gunman. Authorities continue to canvass the area, review surveillance footage, and gather information to aid in the investigation.
No further details on a motive have been released, and the investigation is ongoing.
