Crime
A 48-year-old man originally from Portugal was behind the Brown University shooting, and took his own life in Salem, N.H., police said Thursday night.
The person suspected of killing two Brown University students Saturday and connected to the murder of an MIT professor in Brookline was found dead in a storage facility in New Hampshire, the Associated Press reported.
State and federal law enforcement surrounded the Extra Space Storage facility on Hampshire Street in Salem, New Hampshire Thursday evening. The person of interest died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, sources told the Associated Press.
The multi-state manhunt came after a gunman entered a Brown University study session in the Barus & Holley engineering and physics building and fired 40 rounds from a 9 mm handgun Saturday. Two students — Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov — were killed, and 9 others were injured. Three injured students have since been released from the hospital.
MIT Professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro, 47, was fatally shot in his Brookline home Monday night. While the FBI initially reported “no connection” between the shootings, authorities reportedly linked the two cases Thursday.
For six days, Providence police and other law enforcement had requested the public’s help in identifying a suspect as the alleged shooter continued to evade capture. A person detained within hours of the shooting was released from custody on Sunday as the investigation took a new direction, police said.
The breakthrough in the case appeared to come Thursday after authorities reportedly spoke to a person “in proximity” to the person of interest, who told police he confronted the suspected gunman.
Hours later, Providence police delayed their daily press conference as authorities surrounded a storage unit in Salem, New Hampshire. Officials are expected to give an update around 9:30 p.m.
