" New developments now in the hunt for a suspect in the deadly shooting of the woman you see here Wesleyan University student named -- how to adjust and -- we're being told at this point that police in New York City say. She. That the that the -- suspect in this case threatened her back in 2007. Police identified a suspect -- the man you see here Steven Morgan. Investigators say they have cup and covered this connection that he had threatened her. -- a local report here in New York that they knew each other from a summer program at NYU. At New York University on the phone with us now is Sebastian Giuliano he is the mayor of that college town Middletown Connecticut. Where Wesleyan is Wesleyan it should say. He's asking students to stay inside today asking professors and staff members not actually to come to campus mayor can you give us an update on what you know at this point in this hunt."

" What we knows the other suspect is so large and what we're doing. Because the suspect is so barges were -- on the side of caution. Anybody who's just done something like this is just by definition dangerous. We have no way of knowing that he's not still in the area. So would we ask Wesleyan. To work to stay at a heightened sense bowler. As well this is our our public and private. I schools and elementary schools and."

" What specifically are you saying to residents of your town and parents there."

" progression again the alert if if you see that the person's. Still on the loose. If they saw him. Paul called police. Don't try to confront yourself."

" We noticed in these pictures and we look at this is it looks like potentially some old photograph of him and in the saddest the surveillance pictures. As I understand it he had -- skies on when he went in and attacked the student yet."

" We have to wait at least. I don't know if the -- what looks like. Appear on estates was was part of that urges shadowed the the surveillance photo was. If he killed an off week the Pentagon and at hand but. You know try and make out. Out features it added it appears to me personally that this was pretty well planned out as part. He's got in the building through a back door on a lower level that. You know that the average person would know is there. And made his way and and that is where he planned his way and made a beeline for your -- It would be dead end and made his way out."

" To heck is he known tripled to local police there no we have no idea what was. And was that we have witnesses that have any help anybody who is in the books or anybody on the street -- see him get away in a car and how did he disappear --"

" Because there was a car that was left there so we got a way to curry got a win another. But. It's a car it was left there and the police have that car. Had a warrant to search that the police also. I -- searched the yeah the motel room where he was staying. He was staying locally he stayed that motel room that was yeah out. Out of route 66. Toward the other battlefield little --"

" now believe it was a guy who was living in this area -- as we know where he was living."

" Last this is we have is of no certain address and clearly the last. Place we've -- Middletown was the motel room."

" Mayor have to ask you also what you know about what investigators are telling us that he may yet this has indicated that he's targeting not only the school but the Jewish community."

" I didn't want that came from. World war. Things the police came across when they searched the belongings and are in their possession. Something that there were things that led them to believe that. That is. Anger -- would you want to call it might be beyond. I -- on ourself."

" Were they written threats."

" That's my that's my impression is that --"

" And written in in what kind of formal letter to somebody or in writing I think I think you're just that is already in chino where they found -- I'm not sure they found that at the privacy or in the car -- in touch with local Jewish leaders in your community about this we out. And what have they been able to carry out."

" I think there're that the president of bit of a local congregation. -- it is is that from what I can tell appreciative that that we gave them a heads up. Against better to err on the side of caution. It. It admitted up a big part of this leads me to believe that this that he was after this girl in this -- this goes back could could. Stretch all the way back Colorado."

" But they knew each other from there I think they would -- that far back that the information we have and do you know why in terms of a motive for the -- and -- the Jewish committee would be brought into this too."

" And where I think because of because right."

" Because the -- the -- why the and I directed toward that community I think I I think -- as you. And so he was making a threat toward the community as a whole."

" Yeah it is that this is I don't know is an and I can I am certainly no position to psychoanalyze anybody but it is in this anger or rage at her. You know an entire ethnic group. Is being threatened and likewise Wesley community that she was apart of."

" That's Sebastian Giuliano is the mayor of Middleton Connecticut where Wesleyan University is based and even looking at pictures of the suspect that authorities who so desperately like to find. Stephen Morgan is his name the victim there you sigh ya -- just in Janet's we will keep you updated mayor thanks for your time in the information."
