The suspect in last weekend's mass shooting at Brown University in the United States is dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, with investigators certain he also killed a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor two days later, officials said on Dec 18.
00:00The suspect in the December 13th Brown University shooting had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Salem, New Hampshire.
00:09The gunman, 48-year-old Portuguese national Claudio Neves Valente, was found dead on Thursday in a storage facility where he had rented a unit the previous month.
00:19Investigators believe he also killed 47-year-old Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Nuno Loreiro at his Massachusetts home two days later.
00:29Valente attended Brown University over two decades ago as a physics PhD student and was a former classmate in Portugal of the slain Loreiro.
00:39Neves Valente studied at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island on an F-1 visa around 2000 to 2021.
00:48He eventually obtained legal permanent resident status.
00:52Previously, he attended the same academic program as the MIT professor Nuno Loreiro in Portugal between 1995 and 2000.
01:03Law enforcement collectively believe that we have the person, that we identified the person and that person is dead and that he was the person responsible not only for the Brown shootings but for the Brookline shooting.
01:16Two people were killed and eight critically wounded in the shooting at Brown University.
01:21Authorities said the gunman's motive remains unknown, but investigators are now exploring a possible link between both attacks.
