As the manhunt for the perpetrator of a deadly mass shooting at Brown University enters its 5th day, the prestigious institution’s president, Christina Paxson, is facing mounting criticism for her response to the crisis. In a Tuesday press conference, law enforcement and university officials had very little to tell the public in regard to any leads or potential motives revealed by their investigation into the shooting that left two students dead and Paxon sparked criticism online over an answer where she discussed gun violence. "The primary point that I wanted to address before we get to questions is that Brown...

As the manhunt for the Brown University shooter entered its sixth day Thursday, sources say police in Providence, Rhode Island, recovered live rounds from the shooting scene.

Rhode Island officials held another press conference on Wednesday as the manhunt for the Brown University shooter dragged into its fifth day – but it didn’t end well. Two students were killed and nine others critically injured after a gunman opened fire at Brown University on Saturday afternoon. Brown University President Christina Hall Paxson confirmed that there are 1,200 cameras on campus and all data has been turned over to law enforcement. However, after five days, the public has only seen a few videos from the surrounding area of Brown University. Law enforcement on Tuesday released a new timeline and...

Infowars Reached Out To Brown University, And Has Received A Statement That Is Covered In This Report SummaryThe transcript features a speaker discussing online speculation about a mass shooting at Brown University on December 13, 2025, which killed two students (including the head of the College Republicans) and wounded nine others.The speaker focuses on Mustafa (or Mustapha) Karbouch (or Kharbouch), described as a senior figure in the Islamic Studies Department (though sometimes called a pro-Palestinian student or activist), whose university profile, bio, and photos were removed the day after the shooting.The speaker highlights comparisons between surveillance footage of the shooter—a...

The person of interest, Mustapha Kharbouch, previously published a 2024 manifesto with the Institute for Palestine Studies—since deleted—in which he explicitly framed campus agitation as a form of revolutionary struggle and called for sustained confrontation. His own words are damning: “Our refusal to be complacent in the heart of the empire is the bare minimum of love and care we can show our people in Gaza,” and “Palestine is becoming a question of how we want to fundamentally rearrange our world.” This

“I believe in being transparent here. If I were editing The New York Times, I don't think I’d put it in the paper,” says @MarkHalperin . But people are telling me that the family of Ella Cook, the Alabama young woman who was a sophomore, has been told that she was the target of what happened at Brown. I have no idea whether that’s true. There’s other theories about why the person did what they did. And since we don’t know who the assailant is, it’s going to be harder to say. But if it’s true that she was targeted,...

What used to be online threats, harassment, and social-media trolling has started to bleed (literally) into the real world. Conservatives are being swatted. Homes are being shot up. Public figures are facing assassinations. Events are being shut down by threats of violence. And now, once again, a young conservative is dead. ...... but think about it: you have a visible right-wing leader on a campus where conservatives already say they’re afraid to speak freely, a violent act followed by silence and unanswered questions, and an administration with a record of caving to activist pressure. When you put it all together,...

Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez Jr., on Monday, evaded questions on the Brown University shooter and declined to say what witnesses claim the shooter yelled before opening fire at the university. If the shooter were a White male, we would likely know everything about him. Rhode Island Officials held a press conference on Monday to provide updates on the Saturday shooting and ongoing investigation as the manhunt for the shooter remains underway. Witnesses say the shooter “yelled something” before killing two students and wounding nine more, and early reports suggest the shooter shouted “Allahu Akbar” before opening fire. But Perez...

Brown University mass shooting suspect new images released

Kash Patel is at the center of another embarrassing fiasco after the FBI released a person of interest detained over the mass shooting at Brown University. The FBI had wrongfully detained a 24-year-old Army sniper whose name and photo was leaked to the press by cops, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha admitted on Sunday. A gunman opened fire during a review session for an introductory economics final exam at around 4pm on Saturday. He killed two students including Ella Cook, 19, vice president of the Ivy League school's Republican club, and injured nine others. Forty-eight hours later, the FBI...

Authorities moved to release a person of interest they arrested Sunday over a deadly mass shooting at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, extending the manhunt to its third day. The FBI and police have not identified a suspect since the perpetrator opened fire with a handgun in the school’s engineering building during final exams on Saturday, killing two students and wounding nine others, officials said Sunday night. The FBI pursued a local police lead to arrest the initial person of interest in Coventry, FBI Director Kash Patel said on X earlier that day, thanking “the men and women of...

On Saturday's On the Town I played the late Ted Egan's classic song "We Got Some Bloody Good Drinkers in the Northern Territory" - and wondered afterwards: "Does it get any more Australian than that?" Answer came there less than twenty-four hours later. Wherever you live in the west, "diversity" seems to be making us all the same: one big rapey-stabby blood-drenched craphole. That said, Sydney's Jew-slaughter was of sufficient scale to obscure America's two simultaneous Hannukah attacks - in Los Angeles and at Brown University, the would-be killer and actual killer still at large. As I first wrote all...

The young woman identified as the first victim killed in Saturday’s deadly shooting at Brown University was Ella Cook, a 19-year-old sophomore and outspoken conservative activist whose death has sent shockwaves through both the campus community and conservative circles nationwide. Cook, a native of Birmingham, Alabama, was serving as vice president of Brown University’s College Republicans and was widely known for standing firm in her beliefs on one of the most ideologically hostile campuses in the country. Friends say she was thoughtful, kind, and unafraid to express her convictions, even when doing so made her a target for hostility or...

Ella Cook, a 19-year-old sophomore from Birmingham, Alabama, was a student at Brown University, tragically killed in the December 13, 2025, campus shooting. An active parishioner at the Cathedral Church of the Advent, she was remembered as a grounded, faithful, and bright light in her community. She served as Vice President of the Brown University Republican Club and was described by peers as a staunch conservative unafraid to express her views on a liberal campus. Prior experience included work at Oxbridge Academic Programs and Mountain Brook Creamery

A Brown University professor told Ocean State Media the shooting on Saturday happened in her classroom during a review for a final exam, and that the attacker “yelled something” then opened fire. Economics professor Rachel Friedberg was not in class at the time, rather, the course was being handled by a teaching assistant. The teaching assistant survived the attack and told Friedberg what occurred. Friedberg explained, “The room has stadium seating with doors that enter at the top. He said that the shooter came in the doors, yelled something — he couldn’t remember what he yelled — and started shooting.”
