A person detained in connection with a shooting at Brown University is reportedly from Wisconsin and not a student, having traveled to the area to commit the shooting that left two dead and at least nine wounded Saturday night.
Authorities believe the individual traveled from Wisconsin to Rhode Island to carry out the shooting, according to CNN sources. The investigation remains ongoing.
The person of interest was in custody Sunday after a shooting during final exams at Brown.
The attack Saturday afternoon set off hours of chaos across the Ivy League campus and surrounding Providence neighborhoods as hundreds of officers searched for the shooter and urged students and staff to shelter in place. The lockdown, which stretched into the night, was lifted early Sunday, but authorities had not yet released information about a potential motive.
Col. Oscar Perez, the Providence police chief, said Sunday afternoon that the person in custody was in their 20s and that no one has been charged yet. Perez, who previously said the person was in their 30s and that no one else was being sought, declined to say whether the detained person had any connection to Brown.
The person was taken into custody at a Hampton Inn hotel in Coventry, Rhode Island, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) from Providence, where police officers and FBI agents remained Sunday, blocking off a hallway with crime scene tape as they searched the area.
The shooting occurred during one of the busiest moments of the academic calendar, as final exams were underway. Brown canceled all remaining classes, exams, papers and projects for the semester and told students they could leave campus, underscoring the scale of the disruption and the gravity of the attack.

I can find no evidence that suggests you are incorrect.
Coulter’s Law clearly in effect.

I’m guessing a laser sight...one that leaves the little red light on the target....Like on Hawaii Five-0
Yeah..me too.
Dems are already recruiting the RINOs to go in on Gun Control legislation for this Brown event (an unfortunate accident). Republicans must immediately reply, where is the legislation for the Hate Crimes targeting whites with Knives to the Eyes and White women being targeted with Acid?
And the persistent Subway / Mass transit Hate Crimes Targeting white people.
How about the school attacks targeting Whites where the Perps get rewarded with Millions in GoFundme racist campaigns?
And, it just gets more crazy...
“How come the media is suppressing eye witness testimony about how the shooter at Brown University allegedly shouted Allahu Akbar before he opened fire on campus the night before the first night of Hanukkah?”

CNN just reported that he had applied to Brown for the fall 2025 semester, transferring from a Wisconsin college.
Young blonde US Army officer drove 17 hours from Wisconsin to Rhode Island, picked out a Jewish classroom, burst through the door screaming in Arabic and started shooting.
It seems ... surprising.
