RI - Mass Shooting at Brown University - Providence 13 Dec 2025

[99cats]

Boston NewsCenter 5 is showing the helicopter footage now. It's a man in front of a silver SUV (so perhaps unrelated?) but the scene does seem relatively calm. Not entirely sure what's going on. Providence police is on the scene of the arrest.

EDIT: NewsCenter 5 now says they can't confirm they're taking someone into custody.

Wow!
So many updates, my head is spinning!
I'm catching up (it is past midnight in my country)
Well, well, well
Person 2 is a man
(and to think there was a theory they are a married couple haha)

Fingers the murderer will be caught soon.

Thanks for all updates

I thought it was possible too. No "blame" for theories when we don't have all the info.

I'm watching on WCVB Nowcast.

They've backtracked from the "Person in custody!" initial alarm, but they have a helicopter on scene.

I wouldn't get too excited. What I'm seeing isn't indicative that they've caught this guy. Some outlets seem to be jumping the gun.

Live shot doesn't show a perp (yet), but many officers outside the storage unit.

They didn't end up taking him into custody. They had him come out of his car with hands up (allegedly, there was no video), but then released him back to his car. Likely a witness?

Apparently, the video is showing a storage area.

Right, the commentator doesn't know who this guy is yet. He was not taken into a cruiser with handcuffs.

Lol. Probably some poor guy putting some stuff in storage, and wound up getting held at gunpoint by the police. Due diligence though.

Is the perp in the storage facility for sure? Or could he have fled by the time LE found the car?

well, since this is live, that tells me that the previous unconfirmed report upthread about the Poi committing suicide is erroneous.
