The gunman who opened fire at Brown University and killed two students has been found dead after law enforcement officials clad in tactical gear descended on a storage facility in New Hampshire.
Authorities had found a vehicle used by the suspect parked outside the building in Salem – more than 80 miles from the Ivy League school – and secured a search warrant for a unit believed to have been rented by the suspect.
Police then found the suspect – Claudio Neves Valente, 48, a Portuguese national – dead inside the unit, authorities announced at a news conference Thursday night.
