Manhunt Still Underway for Brown University Shooting Suspect

HeadlineDec 17, 2025

In Rhode Island, the manhunt for the gunman who killed two students and injured nine others at Brown University on Saturday has entered its fifth day. Authorities released a new photo, “enhanced” videos and a video timeline showing a person of interest’s movements in the hours leading up to Saturday’s shooting. One shooting victim remains in critical condition, and two have been discharged from the hospital; six others are in stable condition. All classes and exams have been canceled, and the campus remains on edge. This is Parth Gupta, a senior at Brown.

Parth Gupta: “Brown was, honestly, one of the happiest Ivies. That’s how it was always known. But now, after everything that’s happened, it’s kind of become extremely scary. As a senior, having seen three years at Brown, like, I don’t even know how this incident is going to change campus. It’s very scary to go back, and it’s extremely unfortunate to see what happened to a place like Brown.”
