A man from Wisconsin is in custody in connection with the attack that killed two people and injured nine others at Brown University, according to two people familiar with the investigation. The man has not been charged in connection with the shooting, and authorities have said nothing about any pote ntial motive or link to the university. The suspect is in his 20s, according to local officials, who have not yet named him. He was taken into custody early Sunday in Coventry, Rhode Island, about 20 miles from Brown’s campus in Providence. The arrest ended a terrifying night for students who had barricaded themselves in libraries, cafeterias and dorms as police conducted a sprawling search. Kash Patel, the FBI director, said on social media that a lead from the Providence police had helped guide federal agents to the hotel. Investigators tracked a cellphone associated with the suspect, according to one of the people familiar with the matter, both of whom spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the early stages of the case. When agents searched the suspect’s hotel room, they found two firearms, including one with a laser sight, the person said. The shooting occurred around 4 p.m. during a final exam review for a Principles of Economics class. Joseph Oduro, 21, a teaching assistant, said he had been wrapping up the review session when a man with a face mask and a rifle burst into the classroom. The man shouted something that Oduro could not make out and opened fire. This article originally appeared in The New York Times. ...read more read less
