🇺🇸🇵🇸 - Mark Halperin, an American journalist who hosts a program on MK and formerly was the political director of ABC News, has stated on his own show that the family of Ella Cook, one of the students killed at Brown University, was "targeted" by the shooter.

Ella Cook, the 19 year old Sophomore who was killed at Brown University, was the Vice President of Brown University's College Republicans chapter. Further unverified sources who were allegedly present in the room that the shooting took place in say that the shooter "repeatedly shot" Cook, and implied that Cook was clearly the target of the shooting; though these rumors cannot be verified.

Assuming there is a political motivation, it would check out that Mustapha Kharbouch is the shooter; given his far-left politics and pro-Palestine activism, which is on the record.

🇺🇸🇵🇸 - We will reiterate once again: We are NOT positively identifying Mustapha Kharbouch as the shooter until authorities confirm it.

It is, however, highly suspicious that the University is going to great lengths to conceal and omit his existence, and - most importantly - his politics.

🇺🇸🇵🇸⚡️- An archive link has been created for Mustapha Kharbouch's previous Brown University page.

"Mustapha Kharbouch '27 is a first-year student considering concentrating in International & Public Affairs with a focus on the Middle East. He is a third-generation Palestinian refugee born and raised in Lebanon. Attaining a scholarship to attend UWC Maastricht, he has led in and continues to help with community building initiatives and social change roles. He is fond of bringing his activism and identities into academic spaces and engaging in activist scholarship. He is highly moved by questions of indigeneity, justice and inclusion and is particularly interested in the intersection of queer studies with Palestinian studies. Mustapha is also currently the Cultural Programming Coordinator for the Global Brown Center and on the e-board of the Arab Society."

🇺🇸🇵🇸⚡️- An archive link has been created for Mustapha Kharbouch's X account, which has since been deactivated.

🇺🇸🇵🇸 - Rerum Novarum concludes that there are only two possible scenarios left:

1) Mustapha Kharbouch is not the shooter, and Brown University is removing his digital footprint to protect him from being falsely identified by major news outlets; similar to what happened with the previous person of interest, who was later released.

2) Mustapha Kharbouch IS the shooter, and there has been a concerted effort to remove his political beliefs from the internet to prevent the attack from being framed as politically motivated.

We must repeat to our followers: WE ARE NOT POSITIVELY IDENTIFYING THE SHOOTER. We are reporting on, analyzing, and posting existing evidence that is closely linked with the investigation.

We ask that you do not attempt to stalk, dox, or harass the family or associates of Mustapha Kharbouch.
