• A manhunt continues into a third day in the deadly mass shooting at Brown University after a person of interest detained in connection with the attack was released, Providence, Rhode Island, Mayor Brett Smiley said. Evidence “now points in a different direction,” state Attorney General Peter Neronha said, without offering details. • The shooting left two students dead and nine others injured at the Ivy League school, where classes and exams have been canceled. At a Sunday vigil in a nearby park, the mayor urged residents to come together and “shine a little bit of light.” • The carnage followed at least 75 school shootings in the United States this year. So far in 2025, there have been at least 391 mass shootings and 13,929 shooting deaths nationwide, Gun Violence Archive reports. Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr – well known for his support of gun restrictions – spoke to reporters unprompted for more than three minutes on the topic Sunday before his team’s road game against the Portland Trail Blazers. “The loss that all of the people involved (Saturday) night, the loss that they’re feeling, is exactly the same loss as all the Parkland families, and every other mass shooting,” he said, referring to the 2018 Florida high school massacre. “Nobody asked me about it today. I didn’t expect anybody to ask me. I doubt we’re going do a moment of silence out there because it’s human nature just to not want to deal with this stuff. And it’s human nature just to think, ‘This is so horrible. Let’s not even think about it.’ But we have to think about it,” said Kerr, whose father, Malcolm Kerr, was killed by gunmen in Beirut in 1984.
