"A man, who is suspected of killing two and wounding several others in a Brown University mass shooting in the US state of Rhode Island, and of killing a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor, has been found dead in a New Hampshire storage facility where he had rented a unit, officials said. Claudio Neves Valente, 48, a former Brown student and Portuguese national, was found dead Thursday evening from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Colonel Oscar Perez, the Providence police chief, said at a news conference."
"Investigators believe Neves Valente is responsible for both the shooting at Brown and the killing of an MIT professor who was fatally shot in his home Monday, the US attorney for Massachusetts, Leah B Foley, said. Two people were killed and nine were wounded in the mass shooting on Saturday at Brown University."
"The investigation had dramatically shifted Thursday when authorities said they were looking into a connection between the Brown mass shooting and an attack two days later near Boston that killed 47-year-old MIT professor Nuno FG Loureiro. Brown University President Christina Paxson said Neves Valente was enrolled at Brown from the fall of 2000 to the spring of 2001. He has no current affiliation with the university, she said."

Authorities identified a vehicle Neves Valente rented in Boston and drove in Rhode Island. A second individual came forward and aided investigators. Neves Valente and Loureiro attended the same academic programme in Portugal between 1995 and 2000.
