Former classmate says suspect in Brown, MIT killings was ‘socially awkward’ and ‘angry’ during college years

A former classmate of the suspect in the deadly Brown University shooting — and the subsequent killing of an MIT professor — remembers him as being "socially awkward" and "angry" during his years on campus.

Scott Watson, now a physics professor at Syracuse University, told Fox News he attended Brown with Claudio Manuel Neves-Valente in 2000 and described himself as his "only friend" at the time. Watson said the Portuguese national often complained about life in the U.S. and at the university.

"During his time at Brown, I was essentially his only friend. He was socially awkward, and so was I, which I think is why we connected," Watson said. "During orientation he was sitting alone, and I walked up and said hello. He was terse at first, but we eventually broke the ice and became close."
