(AP) — Officials say a man who is suspected in last weekend’s mass shooting at Brown University and in the fatal shooting of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor has been found dead in a New Hampshire storage facility. Providence Police Chief Col. Oscar Perez says 48-yearold Claudio Neves Valente was found dead Thursday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Neves Valente is a former Brown student and Portuguese national. Perez says they believe the suspect acted alone. U.S. attorney for Massachusetts Leah B. Foley says Neves Valente and MIT professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro attended the same academic program in Portugal between 1995 and 2000.
