An active shooter has left 'multiple casualties' at Brown University campus Rhode Island

They, (the police), in the Brown University shooting haven't interviewed the students that were in the classroom. Why? They don't know who was in the classroom. But they are sending e-mails to the students who might have been in the classroom. Hmmmmm.

What the connection to the MIT professor is the question. The suspected killer also attended Brown University which would mean he knew about Saturday afternoon classes. The suspect also attended colleges in multiple countries which might mean an international connection.

Both the shooter and the MIT professor were from Portugal. They were near the same age. Both had been college students in physics.

The MIT professor went on to be very successful. The shooter started a Phd program at Brown but did not proceed beyond a first semester, many years ago.

Records from Instituto Superior Técnico (I.S.T.), the Portuguese engineering school, showed a person named Claudio Neves-Valente was terminated from a monitor position in February of 2000, the same year that Loureiro graduated from I.S.T. There, the connection in the second case.

He either followed the MIT prof's career, was in contact with him but he knew where he lived which makes it personal for a reason.
 
Neves-Valente doesn't seem to have any employment history in the U.S. other than as a teaching assistant. He somehow was able to rent a small house in Miami. Maybe he was on a trust fund or received an inheritance. He doesn't seem to have any family or close friends in the U.S.

So he probably has two of the big three situational elements typical of mass murderers: relationship and financial problems.

I have to say I'm forming a really negative impression of Australians based on the people who post here.

Don't paint all our Australian members with the same brush. There are more balanced, aware Australian members than otherwise. To those who continue to dog the US, there was no shooting in Bondi Beach, correct? ;)

A classic case in point, mass shootings in Australia are very rare so even one is very big news the previous similar incident was in 1996 when 35 people were killed nearly 30 years ago. Likewise the Auckland Massacre in 2023. They are very rare events and thus notable.

Saying that mass shootings in the USA is not such big news is not criticising the USA it is just accepting that such things are more commonplace there, it is just a very sad statement of fact. Not something to get precious about.

Of course there was.

But it isn't an ongoing regular occurrence in Australia- this was the worst one since Port Arthur nearly 30 years ago.
Not one of many.

I don't make personal comments about nationalities of posters - I know you didn't either.

Anyone who wishes to ignore any individual or any whole group of people can use the ignore feature without need for personal slurs - which of course reflect on person making them, not on those slurred.
