Active shooter on Brown campus

[Anonymous]

How can they say the Brown Univ community is safe if they don't know who did it??

I dunno this sure sounds like they had the wrong guy...

"Over the last 24 hours… that evidence now points in a different direction. So what that means is that this person of interest needs to be and should be released. I think what is really unfortunate, that this person's name was leaked to the public”

Local cops blame FBI...

Q: What exactly was the evidence that led you to this person of interest?

A: There was a tip that came in just like we were taking any other tips and that one came in specifically identifying a person of interest, which was this individual. And so we are detectives, just like the others, but this specific one it was actually picked up by the, by the FBI, and they followed through with it, and they ended up coming and locating this individual of interest.

...

And this of course gave actual killer hours to flee! And threw a wet blanket on any accurate tips!

Initially it was maga guy from the Philly suburbs in a pick up truck.

Then it was this guy from Wisconsin. Until it wasn’t, and they let him go.



Obviously, they’re urgently looking for a POC to blame this on so they can close the case.

You can't recognize this as a "non-answer" answer?

"One of the victims killed in Saturday’s shooting at Brown University has been identified as Ella Cook, a Brown student and a parishioner at the Cathedral Church of the Advent in Birmingham, Alabama.

The church’s Rev. Craig Smalley announced Cook’s death in his service on Sunday morning, calling Cook “incredibly grounded and generous and faithful” and a “bright light” in the church and in her community."

She was the VP of Brown’s (very small) Republican Club. Only 19 years old, and a devout Christian.

RIP, no matter what your political beliefs, this is horrific.

The Lieutenant Governor of Alabama posted about Ella Cook.

Yes I’m sure you could do better at leading the investigation. They had a tip, followed it, and it didn’t pan out. It’s not unusual and I don’t understand the internet outrage.

The other victim is from Richmond, 2025 graduate of Midlothian High School. Was at the study session for Econ class.

My son was friend with one of the dead. Please have some respect.

The fbi has been poorly run, good peple have been fired, others have been reassigned to troll the streets for immigrants instrad of investigate crimes. Its not surprising we now have mistakes and a slow moving investigation.

I really hate how in the aftermath of these events everyone hopes its someone from the oter side, someone assosiated with thier politucal oponent, who did it. But our oponents 100% hope its a trans person. Trans trumps brown or muslim these days.

Whoa! https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/brown-university-shooting-live-updates-rcna249097

I don't know what's going on here.

I think they had to release him within a certain amount of time, unless they were charging him. They may not yet have enough evidence to charge him with everything they what to charge him with.

They can certainly keep him under surveillance and make sure he is no danger to the community while they gather more evidence.

He does have ties to Brown. His linked in profile mentions he was enrolled in coursework at Brown this semester.

"University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Incomplete, Psychology
Aug 2020
Grade: 3.91 cumulative

I attended online classes at UWM after graduating high school due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. I joined the army afterwards and resumed taking full time college classes here online in fall 2022 up until spring 2023. I transferred to Brown University after leaving service to attend in the Fall 2025 semester."

While it might not be true, he also apparently told a friend he was enrolled at Brown U and that he had to move out of his dowrm because it was flooded so he was living in a hotel.

He was trained as a sniper in the army. He had firearms in his hotel. I assume that the bullets didn't match what was used in the shooting. so they maybe had weak evidence to connect him to the murders and therefore had to release him for the moment.

But this guy is suspicious as hell.

Why is he suspicious? The above doesn't sound suspicious.

It really doesn't add up.

The cops supposedly found him because his phone was located in the neighborhood/block during the time of the attack. They say he was not a registered student at Brown, yet his linked in profile and his friend say he was enrolled in the college. He has guns, in a nearby hotel. People in Rhode Island don't have guns. That in itself it is really weird. RI has one of the lowest rates of gun owndership in the US. He's from Wisconsin. What the heck is he doing in Providence, if he isn't enrolled at Brown? What was his phone doing on College Hill, outside the engineering building? That's not a tourist spot.

Yes, they released him, but that doesn't mean they won't be charging him later, if they get more evidence. I think he's the guy.

I read in one of the articles that while Brown said they don’t have record of him, but it is possible he recently enrolled (per Brown).

Yes - one guy was initially misidentified. The one that the police detained is the one who was in a hotel in RI, whose LinkedIn Profile said he was studying at Brown this semester as a transfer student, and who also "Successfully passed Sniper Training, becoming the only private in my unit with B4 ASI".

If this isn’t the guy, I really hope he and others of his generation stop putting so much about themselves online! No one needs or should have this amount of detail public on their LinkedIn.
