Late Saturday evening (local time), the police initially released a video showing a suspect dressed in black. His face was unrecognizable. The alleged shooter had left the university campus on foot and then fled for hours - his motive is still unclear.
Students on the Brown University campus and residents around the university had previously been asked not to go outside. This order has now been lifted. The university belongs to the so-called "Ivy League", the elite universities in the north-east of the USA.
