Investigators searching for the gunman who killed two students at Brown University say the lack of usable surveillance video is significantly slowing the manhunt, according to a source briefed on the case cited by CBS News.
Authorities have reviewed available footage near the scene, but the videos only show the suspect walking along a street and do not reveal the person’s identity or movements after the shooting.
