PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Six days into the investigation into last weekend’s mass shooting at Brown University, authorities said Thursday that they’re looking into a connection between that attack and one two days later near Boston that killed a professor at another elite school.
That is according to three people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity. Two of the people said investigators had identified a person of interest in the shootings and were actively seeking that individual.
The attacker at Brown on Saturday killed two students and wounded nine others in a classroom in the school’s engineering building before getting away.
About 50 miles north, Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro was gunned down in his home Monday night in the Boston suburb of Brookline. The physicist and fusion scientist died at a hospital the next day.
The FBI previously said it knew of no links between the cases.
