Authorities have released security footage showing the alleged gunman involved in a deadly shooting at Brown University. The gunman opened fire in a classroom around 4:00 pm local time (9:00 pm GMT) on Saturday, in a building where exams were taking place, killing two people and injuring nine others.
The video offers the first glimpse of the suspect, seen walking along Hope Street shortly after the shooting. Dressed entirely in black, with a hood or face covering concealing his features, the man turned onto Waterman Street as police tracked his movements. Providence Police Department Commander Timothy O’Hara described the clip at a late-night press briefing: “The footage shows the suspect leaving the scene. Officers immediately conducted a search of the Barus & Holley Engineering building but could not locate him.”
