As the manhunt for the Brown University shooter entered its sixth day Thursday, sources say police in Providence, Rhode Island, recovered live rounds from the shooting scene.

“Oh yeah, we seized a few physical evidence and we're in the process of examining that evidence,” Perez told Fox News. “And yes, we have some DNA that we manipulated and so it just progresses everyday.”

Did the Brown security people immediately polish up the rounds so that the fingerprint lab could have nice shiny objects to play with?

Live? How about stating ‘spent’ rounds?

[LoveMyFreedom]

Just found live rounds. You got to be kidding me.

[citizen]

So...did the perp drop some bullets?

[Alas Babylon!]

What did they “fall out” of the magazine?

Maybe he was trying to reload and dropped them. Not likely but the only thing I can think of.

If you need a laff or two, read the article. These people are stupid.................

Maybe he was trying to reload and dropped them

I hadn't heard he used a revolver.

So, DNA has been found, or aren’t they going to tell us.

[Red Badger]

Yes, and they ‘manipulated’ it...................

There seems to be some confusion as to their understanding of "live ammunition" versus spent shell casings.

The FOX news reporter asks about live rounds but police colonel Oscar Perez, who seems to have a poor grasp of English, replies to the affirmative but with the term "evidence".

I don't expect the shooter had live ammunition falling out of his pockets or was dropping live rounds when reloading a revolver or shotgun. Then again, he might have unintentionally dropped a magazine - either by inadvertently hitting the mag release or when reloading.

From the article: When Fox News on Wednesday asked Col. Oscar Perez whether investigators were able to find live ammunition from the scene, the police chief said investigators were able to get physical evidence. “Oh yeah, we seized a few physical evidence and we're in the process of examining that evidence,” Perez told Fox News. “And yes, we have some DNA that we manipulated and so it just progresses everyday.”

I hadn't heard he used a revolver.

I hadn't heard whether he used a handgun or a long gun. The TA on TV said the gun was HUGE and LONG.

[Sacajaweau]

We don’t know what model handgun he had...but they know by now. Maybe he tossed a clip? Do Handguns have clips?? Know zip about guns....Can you tell??

[AnglePark]

This guy can’t even communicate properly in English. “Seized” evidence, or recovered? “Manipulated” DNA, or examined it? Of course, both may be unintentional slips of the tongue...

Providence and Brown are a petri dish of woke, DEI nonsense and Democrat corruption. One would hope the world is recognizing that, and would wake up from this ideological nightmare, but it won’t happen.

"...we have some DNA that we manipulated"

Huh? "Analyzed" maybe. Or "reviewed." Or "tested."

But "manipulated"? Did he let the mask slip?

[circlecity]

“ Live? How about stating ‘spent’ rounds?”

The claim is that live unfired rounds were found.

[1Old Pro]

Yes, and they ‘manipulated’ it..........

What a weird word to use, but I guess coming from this crowd. I would have expected something more like "Processed and successfully analyzed".

[circlecity]

“ What did they “fall out” of the magazine?”

perhaps he was trying to clear a jam and racked the slide too many times.
