‘Six hours later and you’re the president and you don’t know’
By Joe Kovacs
The president of Brown University is coming under fire for her apparent cluelessness regarding Saturday’s shooting at the Ivy League school that killed two students and left nine others wounded.
Some six hours after gunfire erupted on campus in Providence, Rhode Island, college President Christina Paxson said she had no idea of what had been taking place in the classroom at the time of the incident.
Reporter Dan Jaehnig of NBC 10 WJAR asked Paxson, “President, with all due respect, six hours after the shooting and you said you don’t know what was going on in that classroom? How does that happen? Were they taking an exam? Were they meeting for a club?”
