FBI: Brown University attacker acted alone, driven by personal grievances
TL;DR Summary
The FBI says Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, a 48-year-old Portuguese national, acted alone in the December Brown University shooting that killed two students and injured nine and in a separate MIT killing; he planned the attacks since 2022, sought revenge for perceived personal failures, confessed in videos and audio recordings, showed no remorse, and died by suicide after a manhunt; investigators found no warning signs from family or friends and described his mindset as inflated, paranoid, and mentally unwell.
