The shooter walking around campus

Yes, that sounds melodramatic, but that really happened.

What is remarkable about this occurrence is that there seems to be, to date, no campus video recording of the perpetrator's presence on the Brown campus.

Why not?

Can just anyone who might be, and indeed was, a person out to harm students, enter the campus and leave no identifiable trace?

(Yes, that seems to be exactly what happened.)

Why was the Brown security system so inadequate?

 (BTW, 2025-26 tuition at Brown is $71.7K.

One would think that would pay for pretty damn good security.)

The following post suggests an all too plausible explanation for Brown's security failure:

Something that surprises me about this situation:

There is so little information coming out about what actually happened in the Brown University lecture hall, 186-seat Room 166.

Some reasonable questions:

1. How many students were in the lecture hall at the time of the shooting?

2. What did they see?

Surely at the time of the shooting, when they heard shots being fired, they would turn and look at where the shots were coming from.

What did they see?

The Brown student newspaper is covering this story here:

more generally its website is

https://www.browndailyherald.com/ .

I have not seen any answers to those questions there, to date, 

not in the general MSM.

Strange.

Generally the media rushes to give firsthand, eyewitness information on these things.
