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.

Ping!
The longer it takes, the more you can rest assured the shooter is:
1. “Amish”
2. mooslim
3. Trans
or any combination of the above.
Put it in the bank...
“Some people did something.”
“Some people yelled something.”
They already have a few candidates on X.
I’ve seen no credible reports saying he shouted “Allahu Akbar.”
From what I read, the police did no interviews of people who had been in the room where the shooting occurred. Most students have gone home. Eye witness testimony is not nearly as accurate as that taken several days after an event.
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.
Yugely weak.
I strongly suspect he was doing a shout out for the aloha snackbar.

They’re playing dumb and obtuse, which frankly does kinda come naturally to them, for a reason.
Having been on campus for 2 shootings, one the worst in US history, I am alarmed that people are so nonchalant about this mass school shooter being free.
How many fat 50 yo bearded southern european to middle eastern college students need to be interviewed?
“I am alarmed that people are so nonchalant about this mass school shooter being free.”
Free to strike again. I was similarly concerned.
Even if he did yell Allah whatever, it doesn’t mean that he actually is a Muslim. It could very well be a ruse to throw off the investigators. Send them looking for a totally different type of person............
Smells, as with intent to deceive.
i.e., a mooslim would have kept shooting. Example: The ironically coincidental Bondi attack.
Just sayin’.
You hear anyone yelling alahu akbar, don’t hesitate or it will be too late.
I remember your harrowing posts from the Virginia Tech attack. It was frightening enough just waiting for each update you bravely shared the event in real time.
I don’t recall the other shooting.
Definitely plausible.
And from what I’ve seen of the “authorities” up there it wouldn’t take much to pull the wool over their eyes.
They don’t seem to be the sharpest bulbs in the tool box.
These people (The Prov PD, the Mayor, and the school Administration) are clowns.
I imagine real police departments are howling laughing at the ineptness.
Their superiors are political cowards that fear all bad news. The police are certainly gagged by those above them in the chain of command.
Brown University has only around 8,000 undergraduate students. Adverse publicity could very spell the death of the university.
