What we know so far
• The person of interest detained in connection with yesterday’s deadly shooting at Brown University has been identified as 24-year-old Benjamin Erickson of Wisconsin, multiple law enforcement sources tell CNN.

• Sources said earlier that the person of interest was found with a revolver and a small Glock handgun in his room at a hotel in Coventry, Rhode Island. A CNN crew was at the hotel when law enforcement swarmed the location early this morning.

• The shooting left two students dead and nine others injured at the Ivy League school in Providence. A vigil and community event are being held at a local park this evening, where the city’s mayor said residents can come together and “shine a little bit of light.” Classes and exams have been canceled at Brown as the campus reels from the shooting.
