 Police release new footage and suspect details  — here’s what we know

In the Brown University shooting case. the police dropped new details about the suspect, who killed two students and injured 9 people on Saturday. The Providence Police Department released surveillance videos on Monday that showed a person of interest walking around the area of Brown University on Saturday, two hours before the deadly shooting at the campus.

In one 00:13 clip, the individual, wearing a mask and a dark two-tone jacket, walked on a sidewalk by a picket fence at around 2 pm on Saturday, officials said. A 00:08 surveillance video shown during the Monday press conference showed an individual wearing what appears to be a mask crossing a street.

In a 00:09 clip, the same individual was seen walking on a sidewalk next to an iron gate. Officials also displayed photos of the person, who appeared to be wearing dark clothing. This came a day after they released a person of interest in the case. That marked a setback in the investigation of Saturday’s attack on the Ivy League university campus and added to questions about the shooting and the probe. Police had detained the man at a Rhode Island hotel. The FBI said the man is about 5-feet-8, with a stocky build.Chief of Police Oscar L. Perez, Jr. said Monday the shooter “definitely” targeted Brown University. “What I can tell you is that this individual definitely targeted Brown University, because clearly we’re here speaking about that, and I can also tell you that obviously it’s something that we’re looking into – as far if there was anything else that he was targeting, but it’s all open” Perez said.
