The man authorities believe committed the deadly shooting at Brown University was found dead inside a Salem, New Hampshire, storage unit, authorities said Thursday night.

Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, a 48-year-old former Brown graduate student and Portuguese national, was also believed to have killed a renowned physics professor this week near Boston.

Providence Police Chief Col. Oscar Perez said the suspect, whose last known address was in Miami, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound and acted alone, “as far as we know.”

    So they “got” the guy who did what he had planned, got away, and then offed himself without police ever getting close. Great job guys.

      Yep. Police are ridiculous. Some member of the public turns in a shooter or big theft ring or something and the police are like “look how great we are at solving crimes!” Y’all didn’t do shit, you sat on your hands until someone else handed you the win.

    Yeah, ok. Not sure I really buy that. Seems like the kind of administration that would just say stuff and pin the blame on anyone just to say they got the perp. Convenient that the guy is already dead with no trial needed.

    This whole thing is shady af… MIT professor who’s an expert in nuclear fusion is murdered at the same time as Trump’s social media business is merging with a nuclear fusion company.

    They find the Brown shooter dead, and suddenly he’s also the guy who murdered the MIT professor because they said so?

    How convenient for them.

    What’s most surprising is that there is still at least one human on Reddit. I guess they like talking to bots
