&imwidth=800&imheight=600&format=webp&quality=medium "Brown University shooting: Only one video of suspect released despite 800 cameras on campus")
Hours after a deadly shooting at Brown University in Rhode Island, near Boston, on Saturday (Dec 13), the Providence Police Department released a video of a possible suspect involved in the mass shooting incident. Two people were killed, while nine others were injured after a gunman opened fire inside a classroom at the US Ivy League school. However, the question arises why the police were only able to release one footage despite the school having more than 800 surveillance cameras on campus, as per 2021 data.
It has been more than 10 hours since the shooting happened, and no arrests have been made. There has also been no information released regarding the nature of the incident, the suspect, or his motives. No weapon has been recovered by the police either. This has outraged students, their parents and residents in the region, who have been shaken up by the deadly shooting.
More than 400 officials from local, state, and federal agencies, including the FBI, have been deployed in the region. While the authorities do not believe there is any “specific, ongoing threat” from the suspect, a manhunt is underway to find the gunman. Residents have been advised to seek shelter as the suspect remains at large.
In the footage released by the police, the suspect can be seen walking away from the building, dressed in all black. His face cannot be seen in the video as he walks away, seemingly calm.

‘Seemingly limitless surveillance’ at Brown
A PhD candidate, John Wrenn, wrote in the Brown Daily Herald in 2021 that Brown has 816 cameras across campus. As per his analysis, the university has a surveillance camera for every nine undergraduate students.
“Since 2017, my friends and I have marked the locations of approximately 150 surveillance cameras on College Hill. While this is only a fraction of Brown University’s more than 800 cameras, the scope of the surveillance is staggering: It is impossible to cross (or even approach) Brown University without being surveilled,” Wrenn wrote.
“My impression is that students are concerned about the University's pervasive surveillance of their daily lives,” Wrenn told GoLocal.
While the article was written to raise the issue of “seemingly limitless surveillance” at the prestigious school, which students saw as “pervasive surveillance of their daily lives”, it highlights that the school’s apparent high security at the campus has failed to prevent Saturday’s tragedy.
