It’s been nearly a week since someone killed two students and wounded nine others inside a Brown University classroom before fleeing, yet investigators apparently still don't know the attacker's name. There have been other high-profile attacks in which it took days or longer to make an arrest or find those responsible, including in the brazen New York City sidewalk killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO last year, which took five days. But frustration was mounting in Providence on Thursday that the person behind Saturday’s attack, which killed two students and wounded nine others, managed to get away and that a clear image of their face has yet to emerge.
