Shooter Still at Large In Brown University Shooting that Killed Two, Injured Nine

Three days after a mass shooting at Brown University that killed two and injured nine, police are still searching for a suspect. That’s according to CNN.

On Saturday night at the Ivy League school in Providence, Rhode Island, the shooting occurred in the Barus and Holley engineering building. The school was on lockdown until early Sunday morning.

CNN says that law enforcement has a general subscription of the suspect:

Law enforcement later said the suspect was dressed in dark clothing and believed to be in his 30s. The figure’s face, officials said, was obscured, and witnesses told police he may have been wearing a gray camouflage mask.

After the shooting, police detained a person of interest. But they were released on Monday.
