Hundreds of police hunt suspe

A quiet Ivy League campus became a killing ground.

Sirens, lockdowns, terrified students hiding in darkened labs.

Two dead, nine wounded, and now a grainy clip of a lone figure turning a corner on Waterman Street.

Police say they have a “person of interest” in custody, but won’t say where, how, or why.

In the cold early hours, Brown University’s engineering building turned from a place of equations and experiments into a crime scene soaked in fear.

Students barricaded doors, whispered into phones, and watched live updates as the words no campus wants to hear flashed across their screens:

active shooter. For hours, parents and friends could do nothing but refresh news feeds and pray that one more name wouldn’t be added to the count.

Now, police say the shelter-in-place order is lifted, but the questions are not. A person of interest is in custody.

A brief video shows a man walking briskly, turning a corner on Waterman Street, his face partially obscured, his intent unknown. Investigators are silent on where they found him or what led them there.

On campus, grief and anger mingle with relief. Classes will resume. The tape will come down. But the memory of this night will not leave Provi­dence soon.
