Police and fire reports

Among the documents released on Monday were redacted copies of the incident reports from the city’s police and fire departments.

The fire department’s report documents emergency medical services provided by that agency, but does not contain any narrative summary about the response.

The police department’s report includes a detailed description of the shooting and subsequent investigation, beginning with the initial distress call and the victims’ description of the events.

It says that students reported being in an auditorium at the Barus and Holley building when they heard shots fired from the rear of the room. Some of the students said they ran behind the teacher’s desk at the front of the class for cover until law enforcement arrived.

The police report also mentions a list of evidence collected from the scene of the shooting, including 44 9 mm shell casings, one unfired cartridge casing, and “numerous projectiles and projectile fragments.”

Cook and Aziz Umurzokov were found dead inside Room 166, the Tanner Auditorium. Nine other victims were transported to Rhode Island Hospital.

Officers go on to summarize the investigative work, interviews with witnesses and the development of information that eventually led to the identification of the shooter. The report includes the crucial interview with a witness named John, who described seeing the shooter in the area in the days before the deadly attack, and references to surveillance tools that helped investigators catalog the shooter’s movements.

The report concludes with the discovery of Neves Valente’s body in a New Hampshire storage unit, where he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police note that they found his guns, ammunition, electronics and DNA matching evidence found in the university building.

Radio, phone calls

Monday’s release also contained numerous recordings of phone and radio calls related to the shooting response.

According to the files released, Brown University Police called PPD at 4:07 p.m. In the call, a Brown police officer alerts PPD of shots fired and reports at least one victim, although he said he did not know where the victim was located at the time.

Four minutes after the initial call, another Brown police officer calls PPD and provides the first description of the suspect, saying he was wearing “all black and a ski mask. An unknown traveling direction.”

Meanwhile, last month, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts released transcripts of videos made by Neves Valente after the killings.
