"The City of Providence released 20 minutes of body camera footage showing the initial police response to the fatal mass shooting at Brown University in December, which claimed two lives. The video, which included multiple video and audio redactions, was part of a public records request that included the Providence Police Department's incident report and the Providence Fire Department's call log."
""(The video) tries to strike a balance to not further traumatize the victims, the families of the victims, the Greater Brown community, and the Greater Providence community," Smiley said. "We've tried to find that balance to both be transparent but be sensitive to the effect the video, audio, and written documents will have on a wound that is still very fresh in this community.""
"On Dec. 13, Claudio Manuel Neves Valente entered a Brown University study session in the Barus & Holley engineering and physics building and fired 44 rounds from a 9 mm handgun Saturday. Two students - Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov - were killed, and nine others were injured. Neves Valente then traveled to Brookline, where he shot and killed 47-year-old MIT Professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro in his Brookline home Dec. 15."
