PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Authorities investigating last weekend's deadly mass shooting at Brown University are now examining a possible connection with a subsequent attack near Boston that resulted in the death of an MIT professor. Reports indicate investigators have identified a person of interest in both incidents, intensifying the urgency to locate this individual.
The shooting at Brown occurred in the university’s engineering building, claiming the lives of two students and injuring nine. This incident, which unfolded on Saturday, sent shockwaves through the campus, sparking concerns about safety among students and faculty alike.
Meanwhile, Nuno F.G. Loureiro, a professor at MIT, was killed in his home just two days later, prompting fears of a possible link between the two violent acts. The FBI has stated they initially found no connections, heightening uncertainties around the motives behind the shootings.
The probe into the Brown shooting has met with mounting frustration as the hunt for the perpetrator continues into its sixth day without any clear leads. Investigators have requested the public to submit any relevant footage from the days leading up to the attack, believing it may hold crucial evidence concerning the shooter’s movements.
Despite the existence of numerous cameras on campus, many were not active in the area where the attack occurred. This limitation has raised concerns among Brown officials and community members, many of whom are seeking reassurance during this unsettling time.
Providence Mayor Brett Smiley acknowledged the fears of residents, stating, 'This is a scary time in the city.' He emphasized the city's commitment to keeping residents safe amidst growing unease regarding potential future attacks.
Historically, investigations into mass shootings often take time, particularly when the perpetrators manage to evade capture. Experts suggest that public cooperation might help shed light on these ongoing investigations. As the search for answers continues, authorities remain hopeful that more information will surface, leading to a resolution of this tragic series of events.
