New enhanced video released as the FBI offers $50,000 for tips on the stocky suspect.
Here’s what went down 👇
Read this if you’re following the Providence manhunt, campus safety protocols, or the victims of the Ivy League attack.
📍 What Just Happened
Authorities have released "enhanced" video and a specific timeline of a person of interest as the manhunt for the Brown University shooter enters its fifth day.
The suspect, described as 5’8” with a stocky build, killed two students and wounded nine others during a final exam study session on Saturday.
The FBI has now stepped in with a $50,000 reward, as the Providence community remains under a cloud of fear.
🔎 Investigation Hurdles
- Early Delay: Focusing on a person of interest who was later cleared may have set the investigation back by an entire day.
- Limited Evidence: The White House has questioned why school security camera footage was so limited in the area where the attack occurred.
- Public Help: Police are now taking DNA swabs and sifting through hundreds of tips from the public to identify the masked gunman.
🧠 Why It Matters
Campus Security: The attack at a high-security Ivy League school has triggered a "sweeping review" of safety measures ordered by the Governor.
Rising Violence: This tragedy marks one of at least 75 school shootings in the U.S. so far this year, keeping the national debate on gun violence at a fever pitch.
🧾 The Bottom Line
With no suspect in custody and the campus on edge, the investigation is leaning heavily on federal resources and public tips. The release of enhanced video marks a critical attempt to break the case before the trail grows cold.
