Police said Sunday that a person of interest is in custody following a deadly shooting at Brown University that killed at least two people and injured nine.
Police told Fox News that the individual was found at a hotel in Coventry, which is about 17 miles south of Providence.
Providence Chief of Police Colonel Oscar L. Perez Jr. declined to say whether the person was affiliated with Brown University when asked by reporters at a news conference, citing the early stages of the investigation.
He said the next process for the department is coordinating with prosecutors, collecting evidence and conducting interviews.
