"Authorities said Thursday that they're looking into a connection between last weekend's mass shooting at Brown University and one two days later near Boston that killed a professor at another elite school, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. That is according to three people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to discuss an 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 (80km) north, MIT professor Nuno FG Loureiro was gunned down in his home Monday night in the Boston suburb of Brookline. The 47-year-old physicist and fusion scientist died at a hospital the next day."
"Authorities have scoured the area for evidence and pleaded with the public to check any phone or security footage they might have from the week before the attack, believing the shooter might have cased the scene ahead of time. Investigators have released several videos from the hours and minutes before and after the shooting that show a person who, according to police, matches witnesses' description of the shooter."
Investigators are probing a potential connection between a mass shooting at Brown University and a separate fatal shooting of an MIT professor in Brookline. The Brown attacker killed two students and wounded nine in an engineering classroom before fleeing. MIT physicist Nuno FG Loureiro, 47, was shot in his home and died the following day. Investigators identified a person of interest and are actively seeking that individual while the FBI previously reported no known links. Authorities have searched for evidence, appealed for phone and security footage from the week before the Brown attack, and released videos showing a person matching witness descriptions.
