ALBAWABA - The Rhode Island Attorney General's office said Sunday that the person taken by the police over the shooting that left two dead and nine wounded on Saturday at Brown University will be free today.
"I believe it is fair to say there is no basis to consider him a potential suspect," said State Attorney Peter Nerouna.
He continued, "Therefore, he will be released."
On Saturday, a mass shooting happened inside the Barus and Holley engineering building at the Ivy League university, leaving two students dead and nine others injured. Josh Estrella, the city's Mayor's Communications Director, told CNN that authorities have a "person of interest" in custody but didn't disclose their identity.
The police said that they received a report that the gunman opened fire in a classroom at around 16:00 local time at the Barus and Holley engineering building on the eastern end of the Ivy League university's campus.
According to officials, students were having their final exams when the attacker entered and opened fire, killing two people and injuring nine others at Rhode Island's Brown University. Rhode Island Hospital detailed that most of the injured are in a "critical but stable" condition.
