FBI: Brown-MIT Shooter Targeted Places Representing Personal Failure, Grievance
Federal investigators revealed that Claudio Neves Valente, a 48-year-old Portuguese national and former Brown University student, spent years planning attacks at institutions he associated with personal failure. On December 13, he killed two students and wounded nine at Brown's engineering building. Two days later, he killed MIT professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro in Brookline, Massachusetts. Valente was found dead in Salem, New Hampshire, ending a multistate manhunt.
