WATCH: Providence Police Chief Evades Questions, Refuses to Say What Brown Shooter Shouted Before Opening Fire as Reports Indicate He Yelled “Allahu Akbar”

Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez Jr., on Monday, evaded questions on the Brown University shooter and declined to say what witnesses claim the shooter yelled before opening fire at the university.

If the shooter were a White male, we would likely know everything about him.

Rhode Island Officials held a press conference on Monday to provide updates on the Saturday shooting and ongoing investigation as the manhunt for the shooter remains underway.

Witnesses say the shooter “yelled something” before killing two students and wounding nine more, and early reports suggest the shooter shouted “Allahu Akbar” before opening fire.

But Perez wouldn’t tell reporters what he said, claiming, “That’s part of the investigation.”

A reporter even pleaded with Perez to tell reporters what the shooter said to help the public identify him, reasoning that “it’s possible a friend or family member might recognize if the person said something that was significant.”

However, Perez claimed that he could not say, suggesting the case may be in jeopardy if he were to share this evidence.

Later, when another reporter pressed Perez, he gave similar answers, dodging the question again. After reporters began to shout questions about apparent cell phone videos from the scene, Providence Mayor Brett Smiley stepped in to declare a wrap on the presser.

Either under the “present sense impression“ or “outcry“ exception to the hearsay rule.

Rare is the occasion these days that I’m not carrying.

Especially at church.

At first it upset my wife but after she heard a lunatic shotgunned a Bible study group in Charleston around 2015 killing 8 people IIRC, she now double checks to make sure I AM carrying before we go to services.......sad to have to do that but that’s the world in which we now find ourselves.

Oh, yeah.

MAYOR SMILEY: We want to inform the community that that individual will shortly be released from Providence Police. We know that this is likely to cause fresh anxiety for our community. Ever since the initial call, now a day and a half ago, we have not received any credible or specific threats to the Providence community. And so the status of safety in our community remains unchanged, and we believe that you remain safe in our community. The call came in for the shooting at 4:05pm on Saturday. It’s Monday morning, 10am ET, and there has not been a single credible or specific threat that we’ve received since that time. And so, just because of those facts, that’s why we believe it is safe and appropriate for residents in Providence to be sending their kids to school today and to be out in the community. There, there has been no follow up threat.

“ It is my understanding that immediate reports can be used as evidence in a trial whereas days later reports are considered hearsay. I am not a lawyer so please correct me if I’m wrong about that.”

You are wrong about that.

Thanks.

Couple of things....he sure seems nonchalant.

Also, IMO if this is all they have they ain’t got squat.

I was right next to the police station. We were fine. The shooting on the first day of school was scarier because it happened a few yards away (William Morva who still owes me $5).
The bravery came when we had to face the world when it came to Blacksburg afterwards. All our parking lots were full of news trucks.

If the shooter yelled “Allah Ackbar” it would not be heresay to testify to that. It’s only heresay if you are introducing it to prove the truth of the matter asserted. That would not be the case here.

This is what makes it sound like an assassination.

All I can tell from the videos is that he(?) appears to be an overweight incel.

Even that may be incorrect. Could be that he is wearing Kevlar vest and just appears to be overweight. His walk is somewhat unique and appears to be correct for someone who is overweight and his feet seem to be slightly outwards pointed.

If he was a J6er, the FBI would have his entire life history by now................

Honestly...if someone barges into a classroom, given what has happened with the last X amount of mass killings, the probability is extremely highit is one of three categories:
  1. Muslims

  2. Leftists of any type

  3. Transgender
Sure. It might be some other category. It could be someone who hated Brown University. Someone who was fired. Someone who had a love spat with someone in that room on a weekend.

But when someone bursts into a room and screams something that sounds unintelligible to Americans (most of whom have not heard a genuine "Allahu Akbar" from the live mouth of a deranged muslim lunatic, only from sanitized Hollywood productions) I am going to put my money on Muslims, Leftists, and Transgenders until more information comes out.

When you are in Oklahoma and you hear hooves, you think Horses, not Zebras.

The residents of Lancaster County, PA often shout AMISH AKBAR!!! when they raise barns and so forth, so it is certain that this is what witnesses reported.

There's no sense in getting 'them' riled up or they might start killing Americans again.

First person killed just happened to be the head of the Brown Republicans and an outspoken conservative.

No motive will be known if he yelled Allah Sanckbar.

That’s why I suspect it may have been a reference to Charlie Kirk.

It would seem to me when trying to figure out whom the perp was, one would begin with the best immediate evidence. Victims are the first IMO, they saw it. Besides whom was the first victim shot, hum, could be a clue there.

Next there is physical evidence which must be gathered i.e. brass, spent rounds, recorded voice and visual. These things MUST be pinned down ASAP. It is called a crime scene and requires more than just putting up the yellow tape.

The fact that nothing was released soon after the event i.e. police are looking for a WMA or BMA approximately so tall, weighing about so much, wearing these clothes last seen moving in such and such direction on foot, at a minimum. Rather, all the announcements were stay sheltered, no other info available is BS.

They could have used local talent from the Bocce Courts on The Hill to find out who did it. He would be with the fishes now.
