"Well, so far, police really only have grainy images of a person that could be the gunman, plus whatever evidence they've been able to retrieve from inside that lecture hall. Today, the mayor of Providence said that they really have no way of knowing the identity, or even if the gunman is still in the city. Their most promising lead turned out to be a dead end."
"Well, Brown won't confirm any names, but the first name we learned was that of 19-year-old Ella Cook, a sophomore from Alabama who was active in the college Republican Club, we gather. She's said to have been an accomplished pianist who scooped ice cream as a summer job back in her hometown. And the rector of the Cathedral Church of the Advent in Birmingham made - he spoke about her from the altar yesterday."
Authorities continue an active search for the gunman who opened fire at Brown University, killing two students. Police currently possess only grainy images of a possible suspect and evidence recovered from inside the lecture hall. The mayor of Providence stated there is no way to confirm the gunman’s identity or whether the suspect remains in the city. A previously promising lead proved a dead end when a Wisconsin man taken into custody was released. Officers are canvassing nearby neighborhoods door to door and requesting doorbell camera footage. One identified victim is 19-year-old Ella Cook, a sophomore from Alabama who played piano and worked scooping ice cream; church leaders spoke emotionally about her at a recent service.
