The X post you shared from @EricLDaugh (Eric Daugherty) criticizes Brown University for allegedly lacking clear security camera footage of the shooter inside the Barus and Holley building, despite its high tuition (~$70,000/year) and record ~$8 billion endowment. The attached video is a news clip from a press conference where Providence Mayor Brett Smiley and police officials provide updates on the incident.
Brown University tuition is $70,000.
### What Happened:
On December 13, 2025, a mass shooting occurred at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, inside the Barus and Holley engineering and physics building during final exams.
- **Casualties**: 2 students killed, 9 others injured (most critically; at least 10 of the 11 shot were students).
- **Suspect**: Described as a male dressed in black (possibly with a mask), who fled on foot. As of December 14, 2025, the suspect remains at large, with a massive manhunt involving over 400 law enforcement officers, including the FBI.
- Police have released surveillance video showing a "person of interest" calmly walking away from the area outside the building (on Hope Street toward Waterman Street), but no clear face is visible.
### Regarding the Security Cameras Claim:
- Officials (including the mayor) stated there is **no video footage of the shooter entering, moving through, or inside the building where the shooting occurred**. The incident happened in an older section of the Barus and Holley building, which reportedly lacks internal security cameras.
- However, there **is** exterior/street-level surveillance that captured the suspect leaving.
- Brown University is known for having extensive campus surveillance (sometimes nicknamed the "Surveillance School" due to high camera density), but apparently not comprehensive coverage in every interior area of this specific building.
- This has fueled skepticism and criticism online, as in the post, questioning why a wealthy institution wouldn't have better internal security.
This is a developing story with ongoing investigation. Sources include live updates from CNN, NYT, NPR, ABC News, Reuters, and local Providence outlets. Prayers for the victims and their families.
Its endowment is $8 billion and just hit a new record.
AND THEY DON’T HAVE A SINGLE SECURITY CAMERA THAT GOT A CLEAR VIEW OF THE SHOOTER IN THE BUILDING!!!
