Police Investigating Link Between Shootings At Brown University & Killing Of MIT Professor

Authorities are investigating a connection between the mass hooting at Brown University and the killing of an MIT professor two days later, 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 Thursday that investigators had identified a person of interest in the shootings and were actively seeking that individual. The shooting at Brown on Saturday killed two students and wounded nine others. The attacker got away. About 50 miles away, MIT professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro was fatally shot in his home Monday and died at a hospital Tuesday.
