Suspect Of Brown University Shooting Planned Attack For Years

The FBI recovered an electronic device that contained a series of short videos made by Valente.

The man accused of killing two Brown University students and an MIT professor reportedly planned the attack for years.

48-year-old Claudio Valente was a former Brown student and Portuguese national. He was found dead in a New Hampshire storage facility after he opened fire on the school’s campus killing the two students and injuring nine others. Two days after the shooting, Valente allegedly killed the MIT professor at his home in Boston.

During a search of the storage facility where Valente’s body was found days after the incidents, the FBI recovered an electronic device that contained a series of short videos made by Valente while he was at large.

Valente admitted that he had been working out details for at least six semesters but did not give a motive for targeting Brown or the professor, with whom he attended school in Portugal decades ago.

Valente did not apologize but explained he was not mentally ill and did not want to be famous, adding that the videos were not a manifesto.
