In a video shared by police on Sunday, the suspect in the fatal shooting at Brown University could be seen walking down a street near the university just before the mass shooting.
Providence Deputy Police Chief Timothy O’Hara was quoted by CNN as saying surveillance video released by police showed the man investigators believe is the suspected shooter leaving the Barus and Holley building.
The suspect was seen wearing black clothing and is estimated to be in his 30s.
The suspect’s face is not visible in the video. Witnesses said he may have been wearing a gray camouflage mask, Providence Deputy Police Chief Timothy O’Hara said, according to CNN.
“We believe that’s who the suspect is, he’s leaving this area walking down Hope Street and making a right onto Waterman. He’ll be wearing dark clothing. You won’t be able to see his face,” O’Hara said of the video.
Police do not yet have video of the suspect from the Barus and Holley Brown University building during the shooting.
O’Hara said officials recovered shell casings from the scene of the shooting, but police were not ready to release details.
Brown University shooting
As many as two people were reported dead and nine others were injured in the shooting that took place in a first-floor classroom on Saturday, officials said at an overnight news conference.
The gunman opened fire in a classroom in the Barus and Holley building, which houses the Ivy League school’s engineering and physics departments.
The gunman used a handgun in a mass shooting on Brown University’s campus, sources told The Associated Press.
Nine people with gunshot wounds were taken to Rhode Island Hospital, where one was in critical condition, said Kelly Brennan, a hospital spokeswoman.
“Six required intensive care but were not deteriorating, and two were stable,” she said.
What do we know about the shooter?
The suspect, who has not yet been identified, remains at large, officials said.
Authorities believe the shooter used a handgun, sources told The Associated Press.
Officials said the gunman fled after shooting at students in Brown’s Barus & Holley Technical Building, where the exterior doors were unlocked during exams.
Investigators were not yet sure how the shooter got into the first-floor classroom. The building’s exterior doors were unlocked, but rooms used for final exams required badge access, Providence’s mayor said.
The University of Providence remained on lockdown for several hours after a gun-wielding suspect entered a building where students were taking exams.
Streets around the campus were lined with emergency vehicles for hours after the shooting, and security was heightened in the city as law enforcement continued to search for people.
