A unique handgun laser light helped cops nail Brown University’s possible mass shooter, who traveled more than 1,150 miles from Wisconsin to Rhode Island to carry out his deadly attack, law-enforcement sources and a report revealed Sunday.
A revolver — and a small handgun equipped with a special laser light — was found in the hotel room of a man now considered a “person of interest’’ in the horrific case, according to sources and CNN.
Asked where he’d been Saturday, the man claimed he’d been in his room the whole time, CNN said.
The handgun laser aided investigators in identifying the man, sources told The Post.
The individual, only identified as a man in his 20s, was taken into custody at the Coventry, RI, hotel early Sunday after authorities banged on the door and ordered him to open it up, officials said.
Once inside the suspect’s hotel room, police found the two weapons, according to sources and CNN.
The person of interest is believed to have traveled all the way from Wisconsin to Rhode Island to carry out the attack, the sources added, but the motive remains unknown.
Two students were killed and nine more wounded during the carnage in a classroom during a final-economics-exam study review session Saturday.
