FBI Warning “Armed and Dangerous”

The DOJ has officially joined in on the search for the suspect responsible for the deadly shooting at Brown University.

FBI Director Kash Patel announced that his agency is fully assisting in the manhunt to find the Brown University shooter, who the agency has warned is believed to be “armed and dangerous.” The FBI is also offering a cash reward for information leading to the gunman’s arrest.

As reported:

The FBI has warned the public that the Brown University shooting suspect is considered to be ‘armed and dangerous’ as the hunt for the gunman continues.

A reward of up to $50,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest as investigators share new footage of a person of interest. The video comes amid widespread criticism of federal and local officers over the handling of the case.

Earlier Monday, the bureau offered up the reward and confirmed the suspect ‘should be considered armed and dangerous,’ which Ted Docks, head of the FBI's Boston office, reaffirmed at a press conference.

So we’re now in Day Four of the manhunt for the Brown University killer. Authorities confirmed this morning that a person initially taken into custody for questioning has been released, and investigators now believe the attack was targeted. What remains unclear is whether the target was specific individuals or the university itself.

Either way, law enforcement says the suspect is still at large, and new surveillance footage has been released in an effort to identify him. The video does not show the suspect’s face, but investigators say identifiable characteristics – including height and gait – could help generate leads.

Unfortunately, we know the attack claimed the lives of two students. One was a 19-year-old sophomore from Birmingham, Alabama, who served as vice president of the Brown College Republicans. The second victim was 18-year-old freshman Mukhammad Aziz Umurzakov, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Uzbekistan who aspired to become a doctor. Eight others were injured.

What makes this case particularly troubling is the way the attack unfolded. Rather than continuing the assault, the suspect fled during the chaos, making capture significantly more difficult. It raises serious questions for law enforcement – and for public safety – especially as this marks the second targeted attack on a university campus in recent months, following the murder of Charlie Kirk in Utah.

Universities are now grappling with how to respond. Brown has effectively shut down in-person activities as students head into what should have been finals week, and the uncertainty has left the campus community shaken.

In other news, we were also joined by U.S. Special Presidential Envoy Ric Grenell, who responded to an L.A. Times article claiming they’d spoken to at least “nine DOJ attorneys” who claimed they “felt pressured to conclude that campuses had violated the civil rights of Jewish students and staff.” The piece seems to be trying to create a fraudulent retribution campaign by President Trump against the University of California, all the while claiming the antisemitism we all witnessed didn’t actually happen.

Ric even questioned the validity of the claims in the L.A. Times piece, and demanded more journalistic integrity:

Well, first of all, let’s remember that this reporter from the L.A. Times is actually a former Huffington Post reporter. And he says that he has nine anonymous quotes. Now what is crazy in today’s world is how editors are allowing reporters to say they have nine anonymous sources. You’re telling me that out of nine people, if they exist, not one of them would go on the record, and they’re all supposedly former DOJ officials. . . . But the reality is that we see this from the L.A. Times, we see this from the far-Left reporters – they use anonymous sources.

And I have to tell you, I don’t even believe that these people exist. I think this is completely made up. The abuse of reporters talking about anonymous sources is just too much. . . . This used to be immoral to do. Reporters early on would say, No, no, no. Editors would say, No, no. They would not allow you to just rewrite something that another newspaper said and pretend like it’s your source. This industry has got to change. It’s getting worse, and we need editors who are adults, who are more mature to step in and control some of these young reporters who are just reckless.

The problem is that media networks need to sell ads, and they only sell ads if they have enough people going to their website. And people will only go to their website if there’s something salacious when they click on it.

And sadly, we’re at a point where it feels like the prevailing attitude in journalism is: If it doesn’t exist, make it up. This has to change immediately.
