Overview
- Providence police released images of a second man seen near the suspected gunman and say they want to question him, while warning the public about AI-generated fakes circulating online.
- The shooter remains at large and is considered armed and dangerous, with investigators collecting roughly 200 tips after publishing exterior surveillance clips that do not reveal a face.
- Authorities identified the students killed as Ella Cook, 19, a vice president of Brown’s Republican Club, and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, 18, a student from Virginia with Uzbek roots.
- The attack occurred Saturday around 4 p.m. in a ground-floor lecture hall during an exam-preparation session, leaving nine injured; two patients were discharged, one remains critical but stable, and others are stable.
- An initially detained individual was released after prosecutors said evidence pointed elsewhere, and the probe has been hindered by limited interior camera coverage as the university cancels remaining semester coursework and boosts security.
