Person of interest ID’d in Brown University shooting that killed two, injured 9
Benjamin Erickson was nabbed before dawn Sunday at a Hampton Inn in Coventry, RI, after an 11-hour manhunt following a gunman opening fire at the Ivy League institution’s Providence campus during a final-exam study session Saturday.
Erickson, who is originally from Wisconsin, has lived in an apartment in Washington, DC, since 2024, with his voter registry showing a “statehood” party affiliation, according to public records.
He served as an infantryman in the US Army from May 2021 to November 2024, leaving the military with the rank of specialist, an Army rep told The Post.
The shooter was armed with a handgun and fired more than 40 .9mm rounds during the Saturday’s chaos, which left two students dead and nine more wounded, law-enforcement officials said. Read more and see video here.
Bessent expects taxpayers will see 'very large' tax refunds early next year
Treasury Secretary Bessent says retroactive tax provisions in OBBBA will boost refund season
FOXBusiness 
Bessent spoke to NBC10 Philadelphia on Tuesday ahead of an event touting the Trump administration's economic policies and said American taxpayers could see sizable refunds following the enactment of the OBBBA.
The treasury secretary noted that the tax law included retroactive provisions for policies that will impact what taxpayers owe on this year's earnings, which could boost the size of refunds.
"The bill was passed in July. Working Americans didn't change their withholding, so they're going to be getting very large refunds in the first quarter," Bessent told NBC10. "I think we're going to see $100 [billion]-$150 billion of refunds, which could be between $1,000 and $2,000 per household." Read more and see video here.
