Law enforcement personnel detained a ‘person of interest’ who was found in a Rhode Island hotel after the Brown University shooting that left two students dead and nine wounded at the Ivy League school as students took exams before winter break, authorities said yesterday.
Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez said at a midday news conference that the suspect was in his 20s, but declined to share other details, citing an ongoing investigation. Perez said earlier in the day that authorities were not seeking other suspects at this time.
