On December 13, 2025, a masked gunman walked into Brown University’s Barus and Holley engineering building and opened fire during an exam review, killing two students and wounding nine others in a campus that should have been a sanctuary for learning. The carnage has left a grieving community and a city on edge as investigators scramble to identify and capture the shooter. Families deserve answers — fast — and the slow drip of information from officials is only fuelling anger and fear.
As the manhunt entered its fifth day, authorities had yet to identify a suspect, releasing grainy footage of a person of interest and offering a $50,000 reward for tips, while an initially detained individual was released after being ruled out. The lack of a clear lead and the release of a detained person only highlight how chaotic and opaque this investigation has appeared to the public. Providence residents and students are rightly asking why, in a world wired with cameras and data, the trail seems to have gone cold so quickly.
Brown’s leadership has insisted the university has an extensive security network, touting 1,200 cameras on campus, yet authorities admit none captured a clear image of the shooter inside the older engineering facility. That contradiction raises serious questions about preparedness and priorities on elite campuses that spend more time policing speech than protecting students. Parents paying tens of thousands of dollars a year for tuition deserve more than platitudes about “safety culture” — they deserve effective security that actually works.
Retired FBI criminal profiler James R. Fitzgerald told viewers on Jesse Watters Primetime that “something isn’t right,” voicing frustration at the lack of answers and warning about investigative blind spots that officials seem unwilling to address. When experienced law-enforcement professionals publicly question the official narrative, it’s not grandstanding — it’s a red flag that demands transparency, not silence. If political correctness or fear of optics is hampering a thorough manhunt, that failure is unforgivable while families mourn.
Other former FBI agents have described the investigation as a “circus-like” environment, criticizing what they see as incompetence and missteps in the early, most critical hours of the response. Conservatives can and should support law enforcement while still demanding accountability; blind faith in institutions that repeatedly fumble high-stakes cases is not patriotism, it’s denial. We need investigators empowered to follow the evidence wherever it leads, not restrained by headlines or bureaucracy.
This is not a time for partisan finger-pointing over gun policy while killers remain at large — it is a time for decisive action to secure campuses and restore public safety. Practical steps include more visible, armed law enforcement on campus, mandatory interior camera upgrades for older buildings, and streamlined joint task forces that cut through red tape between local police and federal agents. If universities prioritize ideological theater over concrete safety measures, those institutions will continue to fail the very students they claim to protect.
Hardworking Americans should stand with the victims and their families, demand swift and transparent answers, and insist that our institutions do a better job protecting our children. This tragedy is a wake-up call: vote for leaders who value safety, support law enforcement, and put the defense of innocent lives ahead of political games. We will not rest until justice is done and our campuses are safe again.
