AP News••general
Key Points:
- Claudio Neves Valente, the shooter who killed two Brown University students and an MIT professor, planned the attack for years and left videos confessing to the murders but did not provide a motive, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
- Neves Valente, a former Brown student and Portuguese national, killed two students and wounded nine others at Brown on December 13, then fatally shot MIT professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro two days later in Brookline, Massachusetts.
- In videos recovered from a storage facility where Neves Valente’s body was found, he denied mental illness, refuted false claims that he spoke Arabic during the attack, and said he targeted victims at random without intending to make a statement.
