Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Nerona said that he hopes that somebody out there will recognize him.

These investigations are like threads that you pull on a garment, and some of them you pull and the garment doesn't open up, and other ones you pull and the garment comes undone.

I think the sooner we can identify that person, the sooner we can, I think, blow this case open.

That's their hope anyway.

If they have any more to go on than this, they're not saying.

And of course, this after a weekend where they did take somebody into custody,

only to release them a few hours later.

A. Martinez mentioned something about an FBI reward.

Yep.

The special agent in charge of the Boston office, Ted Dox, put some reward money on the table yesterday.

The FBI is now offering a reward of $50,000 for information that can lead to the identification, the arrest, and the conviction of the individual responsible, who we believe to be armed and dangerous.

Armed and dangerous.

Do they think he's still in Rhode Island?

Frankly, they don't know.

The mayor said as much, and it's kind of leading to some mixed signals.

On the one hand, they're warning the public that this guy is out there, armed and dangerous, and at the same time, local officials are trying to reassure people.

This is a very shaken community, doesn't have a whole lot of experience with mass shootings, and they're trying to tell people the streets are safe.

Here's Providence Mayor Brett Smiley.

My sense of the community right now is that this is starting to get very real and very personal.

You know, we're all two degrees of separation from one another, which is hard.
