Brown University and MIT shooting suspect found dead; identified as former grad student

(NEW YORK) -- The suspect in last weekend's mass shooting at Brown University that left two students dead and nine others wounded was found dead Thursday -- and authorities said he is the same man who gunned down an MIT professor two days after the Rhode Island campus shooting.

Authorities in Massachusetts confirmed Valente is also the suspected gunman in the death of MIT professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro in Brookline, who was fatally shot on Monday night in the foyer of his building in Brookline, Massachusetts.

The two Brown students who were killed were identified as 19-year-old Ella Cook and 18-year-old MukhammadAziz Umurzokov. They were both fatally struck by gunfire when the shooter burst into the first-floor auditorium where a review session for an economics course was taking place.
