Footage newly obtained by ABC News appears to show the moment that the man suspected of opening fire at Brown University in December fled the Ivy League campus following the tragic incident. Rhode Island Attorney General’s Office
(PROVIDENCE, R.I.) — Body-worn camera footage from the chaotic scene on Dec. 13 at Brown University shows police clearing the Barus and Holley Building on campus following the deadly mass shooting on campus.
The heavily redacted footage, the police and fire reports, and 911 calls were released after numerous public records requests were made to the city in the days after the shooting.
The 20-minute video shows a police officer directing other officers to clear the building and telling people to get down. It also shows the moments just after the shooting, when police from the Providence Police Department and Rhode Island State Police rushed in.
“As of now, we have no idea who this person could be,” one officer says. They wouldn’t know until days later who the alleged shooter was.
The alleged killer, Claudio Neves Valente, opened fire on a study group at Brown’s engineering and physics building, killing two students and injuring nine others, before fatally shooting MIT professor Nuno Loureiro, at his home in Brookline, Massachusetts, two days later, authorities said.
Neves Valente was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside a storage unit on Dec. 18, officials said.
Also in the new video released, authorities are searching the building when the call comes over the radio, “we have multiple victims.”
“Let’s get these rescues in,” the officer can be heard saying.
Ella Cook, of Alabama, a sophomore at Brown, and MukhammadAziz Umurzokov, a U.S. dual citizen from Uzbekistan, who was in his first semester, were the two students killed during the shooting.
The police report mirrors the court records that were released after the suspect was found dead, but it also includes stark new details from when detectives showed the image of the shooter to two of the shooting victims.
“[Redacted] said she got a good look at the suspect. When provided with a photo of the suspect, [redacted] quickly froze, physically pushed back, and became emotional. She was observed to be tearing up and shaking. She then confirmed that the image showed the shooter,” the report said.
“Detectives then spoke with [redacted], who indicated that he was in close proximity to the shooter when he was shot. Detectives presented [redacted] with the same still image as [redacted] and a second close-up image of the suspect from the same camera source,” the report continued. “Upon observing these two photos, [redacted] took a deep breath, shut his eyes, changed his breathing pattern, and confirmed that the shooter he saw in the hallway appeared to be the person in the photos presented. Detectives met [redacted] with and presented him with the image of the suspect. [Redacted] also identified that the suspect in the images was the shooter.”
In another 911 call, an officer with the Brown University Police Department calls the Providence Police Department as chaos unfolds in the background.
“This is Brown University Police, we have confirmed gunshots at 184 Hope Street,” the officer says. In the background, you can hear a woman who is concerned about a victim reassuring them it’ll be OK.
Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood has released a statement requesting that music from his score for the 2017 Paul Thomas Anderson film Phantom Thread be removed from the new movie Melania, a documentary about first lady Melania Trump.
“It has come to our attention that a piece of music from Phantom Thread has been used in the Melania documentary,” the statement reads. “While Jonny Greenwood does not own the copyright in the score, Universal failed to consult Jonny on this third-party use which is a breach of his composer agreement. As a result Jonny and Paul Thomas Anderson have asked for it to be removed from the documentary.”
The Phantom Thread score earned Greenwood his first Oscar nomination and was also nominated for a Golden Globe.
Greenwood is nominated for the 2026 Oscars with the score for Anderson’s latest film, One Battle After Another.

In addition to introducing the New England Patriots at the Super Bowl on Sunday night, Jon Bon Jovi made a cameo in a State Farm insurance commercial, which featured Bon Jovi‘s “Livin’ on a Prayer.” Jon says he decided to appear in the ad because it brought him “joy.”
Speaking to Billboard, Jon says he feels that State Farm ads are “a part of American pop culture right now,” adding, “They’re fun, they’re funny, they’re whimsical. And when they came to me with it, I saw the script and I found joy in it. I just smiled — as simple as that. I couldn’t say no to that.”
In the ad, Danny McBride and Keegan-Michael Key play two guys who start a company called Halfway There Insurance, whose coverage is vastly inferior to State Farms, as co-star Hailee Steinfeld learns over the course of the spot. At the end, Jon and Jake from State Farm pull up in a car next to Hailee. Jon asks, “Need a lift?” and they drive off.
Jon also tells Billboard about Bon Jovi’s upcoming tour — their first since 2022 and their first since he underwent treatment for vocal cord issues. He says the shows will feature “all the obvious hits, in all the right keys we’ve always performed them.”
“I can honestly say there’s nothing in the catalog of the 18 albums that I couldn’t sing … . It’s locked again,” he says of his improved vocal prowess.
For now, there are only 15 dates, and he insists there will “absolutely not” be any additional shows added this year. However, he reveals, “In ’27, based in joy and gratitude and humility, we’ll go out [again].”
The Beatles made their debut on The Ed Sullivan Show, which was their first time performing in front of an American audience.
The band hit the stage with the songs “All My Loving,” “Till There Was You” and “She Loves You” and later returned to perform “I Saw Her Standing There” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand.”
The performance was seen by a then-record 73 million viewers, helping Sullivan top the nightly ratings for the first time in seven years.
The show is considered one of the seminal moments in pop culture and launched Beatlemania in America.
In 2014, exactly 50 years later, CBS celebrated the iconic appearance with The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to The Beatles. The show featured performances by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, along with other artists who covered Beatles tunes.

Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted co-conspirator of Jeffrey Epstein, invoked the Fifth Amendment during the closed-door virtual deposition before the House Oversight Committee on Monday, according to Chairman James Comer.
It was expected that Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence in federal prison in Texas, would refuse to answer questions from lawmakers and committee staffers as part of the panel’s investigation into the late financier and his ties to some of the world’s most powerful figures in politics, business and entertainment. Epstein, a convicted sex offender, died by suicide in 2019 while at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City.
Maxwell has a petition pending in federal court in New York which seeks to overturn her conviction or reduce her sentence.
Some committee lawmakers were expected to attend the closed deposition.
The deposition was more than six months in the making, and was first requested last July, when Comer formally issued a subpoena for a deposition with Maxwell to occur at Federal Correctional Institution Tallahassee on Aug. 11.
Comer agreed to delay the deposition as Maxwell awaited a Supreme Court ruling on her appeal, which she ultimately lost.
During that interview, Maxwell told Blanche that she never witnessed nor heard of any criminal or inappropriate activity by President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, nor any of the well-known men who associated with Epstein, according to the sources.
The closed deposition with Maxwell comes on the same day that members of Congress can go to the Department of Justice to view unredacted versions of the Epstein files that the department has withheld from public disclosure.

(HONG KONG) — China critic and media mogul Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to 20 years in prison in Hong Kong for national security offences, a penalty his son Sebastien called “heartbreaking.”
Lai was found guilty on charges of sedition and conspiracy to collude with foreign forces. He had pleaded not guilty.
It is the harshest sentence delivered to anyone under the sweeping national security law since Beijing introduced it as part of crackdowns in 2020. Lai’s family has been worried their 78-year-old dad would die in prison, and given his age and this 20-year-penalty, there is now a real chance that will happen.
It was a tense morning at the court in Hong Kong. Where there would once be huge lively crowds gathering in support of Hong Kong’s democracy figures, the mood was subdued and yet at the same time on edge. There was a heavy police presence outside the court, where officers were tightly controlling the media and the supporters who were queueing up outside of the court.
Lai’s wife, Teresa, walked out of the court holding back tears behind her large black glasses after seeing her husband in the dock, expressionless as he received his sentence.
Jimmy Lai is a U.K. citizen, and his son Sebastien said he is hoping, now that the case has worked its way through the Hong Kong judicial system, that China may release his father as a way to appease the U.K. and the U.S., especially ahead of President Donald Trump’s scheduled visit to China in April.
“Even though it was expected, it’s still quite a hard reality to have to deal with,” Sebastien Lai said. “There’s no upside in what China is doing to dad and there are very real consequences if he dies in there. That April visit is key.”
“I’m sure many Americans would want to have done what my father did in standing for freedom and defending his people. And for that heroism he is being tortured and sentenced to life in prison,” he added.
When ABC News interviewed Lai at his home while he was on bail in September 2020, Lai explained why he was willing to risk it all. He said he escaped from China at the age of 12 with just a dollar, “This place gave me everything. My reward is to pay back. It’s my redemption.”
U.K. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said Hong Kong should free Lai “on humanitarian grounds” and the UK government has also pledged to “rapidly engage further” with Beijing. Trump said back in December that he asked President Xi Jinping to consider Lai’s release, and the U.S. ambassador to China David Perdue has said Lai’s case is part of “ongoing discussions” with the Chinese side.
The sentence has been widely condemned by human rights groups, with Human Rights Watch calling the length of the sentence “effectively a death sentence.”
Amnesty International said it was “another grim milestone in Hong Kong’s transformation from a city governed by the rule of law to one ruled by fear.”
Meanwhile, Beijing and Hong Kong officials welcomed the penalty, with Hong Kong’s leader John Lee saying Lai deserved the 20-year prison sentence for his “evil deeds.”
China’s foreign ministry on Monday called the punishment “legitimate and reasonable.”
