The search continues Monday for the suspect in a shooting at Brown University on Dec 13 after a person of interest was released from custody.Providence Mayor Brett Smiley and officials made the announcement Sunday night explaining that they had no way of knowing if the shooter, who killed at least two students and injured nine others on Saturday, was still in the city.
Here are the latest updates in the case:7:30 a.m. ET: Police are searching for the suspected shooter in the Brown University attack.According to FOX News, authorities say that a video showing a man dressed in all black is still the "most useful" to help track down the Brown University shooter.A person of interest detained in the incident that killed two students and injured nine people is being released after authorities determined there was no basis to keep the individual in custody, according to officials Sunday night.On Sunday morning, authorities took into custody a person of interest at a Hampton Inn hotel in Coventry, Rhode Island. He was identified as a 24-year-old man from Wisconsin, though authorities never released the individual’s name, two people familiar with the matter told the Associated Press.The shooting happened on Dec. 13 in the Barus & Holley engineering building while final exams were underway. Brown canceled all remaining classes, exams, papers and projects for the semester and told students they could leave campus.The shooter opened fire inside a classroom in the engineering building, firing more than 40 rounds from a 9 mm handgun, a law enforcement official told AP. Two handguns were recovered when the person of interest was taken into custody and authorities also found two loaded 30-round magazines, the official said. While police searched the area for the shooter, students remained barricaded in rooms while others hid behind furniture and bookshelves. One video showed students in a library shaking and wincing as they heard loud bangs just before police entered the room to clear the building.University President Christina Paxson teared up while describing her conversations with students both on campus and in the hospital.
