An aspiring neurosurgeon and a campus Republican died in the Brown campus shooting

An aspiring neurosurgeon at Brown University and a leader of a campus Republicans group were in a study group preparing for an economics final, with the end of the semester in sight. But the lives of MukhammadAziz Umurzokov and Ella Cook were cut short Saturday when a gunman opened fire inside a classroom in the Ivy League school's engineering building. Nine others were wounded before the gunman fled, and the search for his whereabouts was ongoing Monday. With questions swirling, relatives and friends of Umurzokov, an 18-year-old freshman from Brandermill, Virginia, and Cook, a 19-year-old sophomore from a suburb of Birmingham, Alabama, are trying to make sense of the loss.
