The man, a 48-year-old former Brown student, was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a storage unit, officials said. They believe he was also connected to the killing of an M.I.T. professor this week.

I found an ABC article on how the two shootings are connected.

Both men were natives of Portugal, and U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Leah Foley told reporters at a news conference late Thursday night it's believed Valente and Loureiro studied in the same academic program in Portugal in the 1990s.

That’s the best they have? 30 years ago they met at a conference and he went that long holding a grudge?

So what's that now? 60-70% of mass shooters stopped by mass shooters?

If conspiracy people were vulnerable to facts they wouldn't exist.

I remember watching a 48 Hours episode of a disgruntled Resident who murdered a bunch of physicians who refused to advance him. Basically crippled his chance to be a doctor (and rightfully so. The guy was a nut job).

Wonder if this was similar.

So is my egg cooker. That doesn’t make it a government conspiracy.
