New video footage from the day of the Brown University shooting that killed two students and injured nine others was released Monday, with city officials saying they had redacted the most graphic, violent images to avoid harming victims and "maintain the trust we have built in our community."

"It is incredibly important to me that the city of Providence remains fully transparent, accountable and compliant with the state's Access to Public Records Act," Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said in a statement. "We also know that the footage and audio we are required to release will likely be harmful and traumatizing for the victims, families and neighbors who are still trying to heal and recover from this incident."

News outlets across the U.S. and other countries had been requesting body camera footage, audio clips and other public records shortly after the shooting took place in mid-December.

The newly released material includes audio of a campus police officer calling city police at 4:07 p.m. "This is Brown police. We have confirmed gunshots at 184 Hope Street," the officer said. "We do have a victim but we do not know where they are."

Four minutes later, campus police called back with an update: "We have a suspect description, wearing all black and a ski mask, unknown travel direction."
