The Brown University shooter is still at large. Four days after a gunman killed two students and injured nine others in a lecture hall at the Ivy League school, the suspect remains at large, according to police. Yesterday, the FBI released new, enhanced video of a masked person of interest and asked for it to be shared widely, offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the shooter. Providence Police Chief Oscar L. Perez Jr. said the department has received hundreds of tips. He also directed the public to study the person of interest’s posture and body movements in order to identify him. Officials had detained a man in connection with the shooting and later cleared and released him, but not before his name leaked to the press.
White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles gave a very candid interview. In a series of conversations with Vanity Fair, Wiles sounded off on President Trump and his inner circle. She reportedly said that Trump “has an alcoholic’s personality,” labeled Vice President JD Vance a “conspiracy theorist,” and called Elon Musk an “avowed” ketamine user (Musk has previously denied using ketamine). Wiles later called the Vanity Fair story “a disingenuously framed hit piece” and said “significant context was disregarded,” but did not deny making any of the statements. In a separate interview with the New York Times, Wiles said she did not make the claim about Musk’s alleged drug use, but the NYT reported that she could be heard saying it on a tape played by the Vanity Fair piece’s author. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the White House remains “united fully behind her.”
FTC alleged that Pepsi tried to raise prices to help Walmart. The soda giant allegedly attempted to hike prices at Walmart’s rivals, while giving Walmart promotions, to ensure the big-box retailer had lower prices than competitors, according to a newly unsealed FTC lawsuit that was filed by the Biden administration but dismissed earlier this year by the Trump administration. A PepsiCo spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal that the lawsuit “includes inaccuracies and unsubstantiated allegations.” Prioritizing business with retail giants like Walmart is common practice for consumer goods companies, but critics argue it can lead to higher prices for shoppers who spend elsewhere.—AE
