A person detained over the shooting that killed two students at Brown University was to be released, US officials said on Sunday, December 14, adding the manhunt had resumed for a suspect.
A shooter opened fire on Saturday at the elite Ivy League university in Providence, Rhode Island, in a building where exams were taking place, triggering a campus lockdown and launching an hours-long hunt for the suspect.
US authorities early on Sunday detained a person of interest in the mass shooting that also wounded nine others, the latest in a long line of school attacks in the United States. Brown University President Christina Paxson confirmed in a letter to community members that all 11 victims were students.
