Person Of Interest Identified In Brown Shooting

Police have identified a person of interest in Saturday’s shooting at Brown University, according to multiple outlets.

Law enforcement is now searching for the identified person of interest, multiple law enforcement sources told CBS News. Fox News reports that police now have an arrest warrant for the individual, whom authorities have not publicly named.

On Saturday, an unidentified gunman killed two Brown University students — Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov — and injured nine others after opening fire inside Brown’s Barus & Holley engineering building.

The search for the person of interest comes after law enforcement recovered physical evidence — including live ammunition and DNA — from the scene of the mass shooting.

Police are also investigating a potential connection between the Saturday shooting at Brown University and the Monday killing of an MIT professor in his home, based on information that has emerged in the last 24 hours.

The news conference on the Brown University shooting investigation, scheduled initially at 4 p.m. EST Thursday, has been delayed, a spokesman for the Providence mayor told CNN.
