Did Brown University shooter yell "allahu akbar" before firing? What we know - Newsweek "Authorities are continuing to search for the gunman who killed two students at Brown University in Rhode Island, amid speculation over whether he shouted “Allahu Akbar” as he carried out his shooting spree.
"The claim that the Arabic cry of "God is great" accompanied the shooting was posted on X by far-right political activist Laura Loomer.
"There is no independent confirmation of this claim, which has gained traction on social media—as have other theories about the perpetrator— including that he was a disgruntled leftist." ...
"Law enforcement have not revealed any motive behind the shooting and there is no confirmation that these words were uttered nor is there any evidence that the media was suppressing any information about the alleged refrain.
"Loomer’s post said a source had told her about the shooter’s words, without providing further proof, but it sparked a lively thread asking where the claim had come from.
" 'Laura Loomer spreading unverified 'Allahu Akbar’ rumors about Brown shooting with zero evidence from credible sources, classic fearmongering grift,” wrote Richard Angwin.
“Is there a reliable source what was yelled? Post the witness saying it,” wrote the X account Moni, while another account said: “What is your source? It's all just speculation now.”
"Conservative influencers weighed in with their theories. Shaun Maguire, a partner at the firm Sequoia Capital wrote: “To the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and now to the tragic murder of Ella Cook, it’s impossible to shake the feeling that we’re not getting the truth fast enough from law enforcement and our media.” . . .
