They don't know who the shooter is so have no idea if there's an ongoing threat or not. That's how they should be treating it. Like the Boston Marathon, they had a manhunt and didn't tell people to come out until they found the guys. IMO there's no difference here. The shooter could have plans to do all manner of killing, no one knows, so they shouldn't tell people the threat isn't there.
Interesting and plausible exit route from where last released spotting, looking a little closer at google street view on Gano, it appears there are APLR Flock readers are at corner of Power St. and Gano, IMO.
i lol'ed at the clip of him seeing people and snapping right into his "don't mind me!" body language. like something out of a cartoon. if there's audio, $20 says he started whistling.
very curious what he was doing in that hour between #4 and the shootingI put together a chronological map with locations and times of videos that have been released so far.
Edit: I misinterpreted the location of one of the videos. That's now been corrected.
The video you are referring to is #2 on the map, captured at 1438. Google Maps has the distance between 2 and 3 as .1 miles, and less than a 3 minute walk. He took about 15 minutes to get there, so there is a large gap and a lot of possibilities for what he did and where he went.
One thing I think is pretty certain is that if he had grabbed the bag at that corner, it would have been caught on video.
I agree with absolutely everything you said here. The outfit and shoes, IMO, seem to give the impression of trying to throw off an ID. I thought his chest was much bigger than his legs, in a way that's not common.. and that could be a tactical vest of some sort. But then again, at least IMO, it looks like he's wearing butt padding.
The POI taken into custody has been released. It would be interesting to know what it was the put them on to him in the first place. But I also note that while he was released, I haven't heard LE say that he has been "cleared."
Thank you. I was looking earlier and could not find where any LE has said he was cleared along with being released.Wisconsin man initially detained in Brown University shooting 'effectively cleared' of any involvement
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WKOW) -- The Wisconsin man initially detained in connection with the Brown University shooting has been "effectively cleared."www.wkow.com
The Wisconsin man initially detained in connection with the Brown University shooting has been "effectively cleared."
The 24-year-old man spent nearly all of Sunday in police custody as a "person of interest" in the mass shooting. Sunday evening, authorities announced he would be released. Further clarification came Monday from Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha.
Neronha appeared on GMA3 Monday, telling ABC News, "The evidence that we have, the scientific evidence that we have available to us, after it was analyzed, made clear that this was not someone who should be detained in connection with this case. So we released him and then moved on looking at other evidence and pursuing other leads pointing at additional potential individuals."
I remember discovering, during that first winter of COVID, how much warmer a mask kept my face! And knowing it's quite cold in RI at the moment, I can imagine the perp felt that a mask wouldn't draw too much attention. However many people are still masking in that community, I wouldn't be surprised if the numbers jumped a little during the cold spell. MOO
Particularly because many of the international students are returning home over winter break - I could definitely see an uptick in mask usage prior to winter break.
