"Nuno FG Loureiro, 47, had been shot multiple times at his home in Brookline on Monday night when police said they received a call to investigate. Emergency responders brought Loureiro to a hospital, and the award-winning scientist was pronounced dead there Tuesday morning, the Norfolk county district attorney's office said in a statement. But the agency did not immediately release any details about a possible suspect or motive in the killing."
"Separately, MIT president Sally Kornbluth issued a university-wide letter expressing great sadness over the death of Loureiro, whose survivors include his wife. This shocking loss for our community comes in a period of disturbing violence in many other places, said Kornbluth's letter. The letter concluded by providing a list of mental health resources, saying: It's entirely natural to feel the need for comfort and support."
