There were cameras in the classroom, after all.

Antisemitic agitators on Brown’s campus demanded last year that the University take down some cameras to protect “protestors.”

Did they comply or are they hiding the footage?

Now the school won’t answer whether they complied, and if that played a role in the limited footage of the shooter.

An eerie photo of the classroom where a gunman opened fire Saturday inside Brown University’s Barus and Holley building gives insight into what the shooter and victims may have seen in the final moments before 11 students were shot.

It’s early days, and Americans tend to expect quick results, so it is perhaps unfair to expect an immediate arrest in the horrific case of the Brown University assassin case. Still, by any standard, it’s hard to say that the investigation has inspired confidence. It’s been five days, and nobody involved has covered themselves in glory. Information has been withheld, the FBI jumped the gun on announcing a potential arrest, and many of the witnesses haven’t yet been interviewed. NBC News: Authorities have been combing through the 200 credible tips they have received, he said Tuesday. Complicating the ongoing search is the fact that many students, faculty and staff left campus after the school canceled the remaining week of its fall semester. Authorities shared images this week of the person of interest, which show a man they say is about 5 feet, 8 inches tall and has a stocky build. The FBI, in coordination with Providence police and Rhode Island state police, released a video timeline Tuesday showing the man wearing a dark hat, a two-tone zippered jacket, black pants and a dark medical mask covering most of his face. The timeline of stitched-up security video from the neighborhood surrounding the university campus shows the man walking around the area, about a block away from campus, at 2 p.m. ET — two hours before the shooting Saturday. There is also video of him walking in front of the building where the shooting happened and of him walking away from campus after the shooting. There is no video showing the person of interest entering the Barus and Holley engineering building, where the shooter opened fire. (NBC News)

Speculation is running rampant online because so little information has been shared with the public. Confidence would skyrocket if more facts were laid on the table, including what the shooter shouted as he opened fire.

Footage released by FBI Boston appears to show an individual wanted for questioning by police in connection with the Brown University shooting, just steps away from the person of interest prior to the attack.

The video appears to show the individual, wearing a blue coat and beige hoodie, walking toward the suspect on Benevolent Street at about 2:16 p.m., about two hours prior to the shooting.

Video appears to show person ‘in proximity’ to Brown shooting person of interest

Investigators are asking for the public’s help in identifying and speaking to the individual, who was in proximity of the person of interest.
The person of interest then turns around and starts running down the street, out of the camera’s view.

The individual is not seen running after him.

Authorities described the individual as being “in proximity” to the person of interest.
