Brown University shooting: First visuals surface showing the gunman; massive manhunt launched

Federal Bureau of Investigation released the first footage of the Brown University shooter suspect after finding no leads for over six hours. The suspect, dressed in black, can be seen walking past a traffic light. The shooting left two dead and nine injured.

"Help find this Person of Interest. If you have any information, please call 1-800-CALL-FBI (225-5324) or http://tips.fbi.gov," the probe agency said.




The face of the suspect cannot be seen in the footage. A massive manhunt has been launched as the authorities to find the suspect.

Investigators said it was still unclear how the shooter accessed the first-floor classroom where the firing began, noting that while the building’s exterior doors were unlocked, classrooms being used for final exams could only be entered with badge access, according to Providence’s mayor.

University authorities had first informed students and staff that a suspect had been detained, but later clarified that no one was in custody. The mayor said an individual initially believed to be connected to the incident was held briefly before being cleared of any involvement.

The attack took place inside the seven-storey Barus & Holley building, which houses Brown University’s School of Engineering and physics department and contains more than 100 laboratories along with numerous classrooms and offices, according to the university website. Engineering design exams were in progress at the time of the shooting.
