Authorities say the shooter was 48-year-old Claudio Neves Valente, a Portuguese national and former Brown student who would have spent a lot of time in the building where the shooting took place.
His last known address was in Florida.
Officials say he also attended the same school in Portugal as the slain MIT physics professor.
