Brown University implements campus-wide security overhaul after mass shooting leaves 2 dead, 9 woundedFollowing the Dec. 13 mass shooting at Brown University, school officials Tuesday announced new safety measures, including installing security cameras inside the Barus and Holley engineering and physics building where 11 students were shot, including two fatally.In a letter to the community, Brown University Department of Public Safety interim vice president Hugh T. Clements Jr. said immediate actions will include increased public safety staffing across campus, and continued use of card access, keys or ID checks for building entry.He added that before the Spring 2026 semester, university police will transition remaining buildings using key access to card access, expand blue-light phones with cameras, install security cameras in key locations, including the Barus and Holley buildings, and expand panic buttons in critical areas.New trauma-informed safety and active-shooter preparedness training will also be offered in the spring semester.Clements, who previously served as chief of the Providence Police Department, was recently named Brown’s interim public safety vice president after former chief Rodney Chatman was placed on leave following a report from The Boston Globe, which alleged a school custodian, Derek Lisi, saw the shooter at Barus and Holley weeks before the incident and alerted a security guard.Authorities say 48-year-old Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, a former Brown student, opened fire inside the elite university’s engineering and physics building, killing students Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, before traveling to Boston to kill MIT professor Nuno Loureiro. Days later, authorities found Neves-Valente dead by suicide in a storage unit in Salem, New Hampshire.
