Person Detained in Brown University Shooting Released as Gunman Remains at Large

Officials say evidence refocused the probe toward the person seen in surveillance video.

Overview

  • Authorities released the man detained Sunday in Coventry after concluding the evidence pointed elsewhere, and no charges were filed.
  • Investigators are seeking the individual in a short video walking away in dark clothing near the Barus & Holley building after the Saturday attack.
  • Two students were killed and nine injured; seven are stable, one is critical but stable, and one has been discharged, officials said.
  • Limited interior camera coverage is complicating identification, with a multiagency team including the FBI continuing the search and maintaining an enhanced police presence without specific credible threats.
  • Officials say more than 40 rounds were fired from a 9mm handgun during the exam session; Brown canceled remaining finals and asked for tips via fbi.gov/brownuniversityshooting.
