<p>Authorities investigating the attack that left two students dead and nine other wounded on Saturday have been criticized for their lack of progress in identifying and locating a suspect. On Monday, police <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-release-enhanced-footage-of-brown-university-person-of-interest-as-manhunt-continues?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=4&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Police+Release+%E2%80%98Enhanced%E2%80%99+Footage+Of+Brown+University+Person+Of+Interest+As+Manhunt+Continues">released</a> &#8220;enhanced&#8221; footage of a person of interest, which shows a person wearing a hat and mask walking down the street in Providence&#8217;s East Side before the shooting took place.</p>
<p>Students at Brown, and even President Donald Trump, have asked why there are so few security cameras on campus.</p>
<p>&#8220;There can be no excuse for that,” Trump said. “In the modern age, it just doesn’t get worse!!!”</p>
<p><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible c-link--underline" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a></b></p>
<p>Asked about the lack of footage of the person of interest, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha said that &#8220;unfortunately&#8221; due to the age of the building where the gunman opened fire, &#8220;we just don’t have additional video footage.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So, there&#8217;s the back part of the building, the old part, and the front part, the new part,&#8221; Neronha said. &#8220;The shooting occurs in the old part towards the back … and that older part of the building, there are fewer, if any, cameras in that location, I imagine, because it&#8217;s an older building.</p>
<p>The attacker shot and killed 19-year-old University College Republicans Vice President Ella Cook and 18-year-old Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov while they were studying in a first-floor classroom in the Barus &amp; Holley building.</p>
<p>Neither Neronha nor school officials have explained why the older building could not have been equipped with security cameras. Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/older-brown-building-where-shooting-happened-had-no-cameras-presidents-even-older-home-appears-equipped">reported</a> that the university president&#8217;s residence is even older than the Barus &amp; Holley building, but appears to have multiple security cameras.</p>
<p>The university said its cameras focus on &#8220;high-traffic areas, such as streets, sidewalks and campus walkways with significant foot traffic; and in academic and administrative buildings with an emphasis on entry and exit points. Brown’s security cameras do not extend to every hallway, classroom, laboratory and office across the 250+ buildings on campus.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;For security reasons, it is not prudent to share where cameras are and are not relative to individual buildings and locations,&#8221; Brown University added.</p>
