The man arrested in connection to the deadly shooting at Brown University drove from Wisconsin to Rhode Island with a laser-equipped firearm, according to law enforcement.
Aged in his 20s, the unidentified gunman killed two Ivy League students and injured several more before FBI agents snared him at the Hampton Inn hotel in Coventry.
Sources told CNN he drove from Wisconsin to Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island - a journey which would have taken around 17 hours.
The person of interest also had two guns in his possession at the hotel and one of them had laser sight, sources told the outlet.
The laser pointer is commonly used to show where a bullet will land once it is discharged from a firearm.
Police have yet to name the suspected shooter and his motive is unclear.

laser-reinforced firearm
Sounds like a video-game buff.
Leftard/Antifa type for sure.
“laser-reinforced firearm”
Sounds like yet another journalism degree writing a regarded story.
Gosh. He violated all kinds of laws to carry this out. Perhaps we need to pass more laws about gun control? Maybe that would have stopped him?
“...his motive is unclear.”
I posit that is a lie. Given the state of connected tech today, the authorities know exactly why he did it, when he started planning it and more.
“laser-reinforced firearm”
It’s like rebar only with light.
“. . . commonly used to show where a bullet will land.”
Laser-reenforced. I’ve got to get a hold of Santa and change my list. I didn’t know about laser reenforced.
Still no name. No citizenship information. What the effin hell!
I know, right?
They are scrubbing bubbles on social media.
“still not identified”
The REgime needs time to purge his social media, so they can say “unknown motive”, “not terrorism”, “he acted alone”...
Sounds like car travel is safe for perps.
The November Afghan illegal suspect Rahmanullah Lakanwal, drove across the country from his home in Bellingham, Washington to DC to kill one National Guard woman and critically wound another.
When Lee Harvey Oswald was asked what was in the long wrapped package he carried he said “Curtain rods” for his Oak Cliff apartment.
When Ohio deputies made a traffic stop of Jeffrey Dahmer they asked what was in the black plastic trash bag on the back seat. He said he was helping his ailing mother to clear out lawn waste.
They gave him a cheery sendoff and he was on his way.
The bag contained the severed pieces of his first murder victim.
I think he drove all that way just to protest Rhode Island’s new “laser-reinforced firearm” laws.
“The laser pointer is commonly used to show where a bullet will land once it is discharged from a firearm.“

Who writes this crap?
Laser reinforced? So after the “bang” is goes “pew pew” too?
It means the killer is NOT a traditional white middle class, middle aged white MAGA man...
If he had been that news would have broken about 5 minutes after he had been arrested. Or before ....
