Officials say man who is suspected of killing two and wounding several others at Brown University has been found dead in a New Hampshire storage facility. Providence Police Chief Col. Oscar Perez says Claudio Neves Valente, 48, a former Brown student and Portuguese national, was found dead Thursday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Perez says they believe the suspect acted alone. U.S. attorney for Massachusetts Leah B. Foley says investigators believe Neves Valente is responsible for both the shooting at Brown and the killing of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor on Monday. She says Neves Valente and Loureiro attended the same academic program in Portugal between 1995 and 2000.
