Law enforcement is swarming a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire, after locating an abandoned car linked to the Brown University shooting suspect.
Authorities believe the identified license plate matches the vehicle used in the Monday killing of an MIT professor in his home, less than 50 miles from Brown University, according to CNN.
Officers equipped with night vision and long rifles have surrounded the facility, and Fox News National Correspondent Brooke Taylor reports that local and federal law enforcement are preparing to enter the building after reviewing surveillance footage.
