A masked gunman opened fire in a Brown University study hall during finals week, with no surveillance cameras capturing the incident inside. The shooting, which left two dead and nine injured, has raised concerns about the university’s security measures amidst recent budget cuts resulting in layoffs and reduced IT services. Investigators are exploring the suspect’s possible connection to the school while seeking public assistance in identifying a person of interest seen near the scene. Brown’s security cameras do not cover all areas, particularly inside the Barus and Holley Building, highlighting gaps in campus safety.
