"The man accused of carrying out last month's mass shooting at Brown University that left two students dead admitted to the crime in a series of four videos, the transcripts of which were released Tuesday by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts. Claudio Neves Valente, the 48-year-old suspect who previously attended Brown, was found dead by a self-inflicted gunshot wound at a storage facility in New Hampshire just days after the campus attack, preventing investigators from interrogating him."
"Throughout the more than 11 minutes' worth of video, he spoke about how he had planned the shooting for years. In multiple instances, Valente vaguely referenced "the people" his violent actions were made in response to, saying, "I did not like any one of you. I saw all of this shit from the beginning." He noted that he sent three emails, seemingly to "the people" he'd referenced. But beyond that, he was "not saying anything else.""
Claudio Neves Valente admitted in four videos to the Brown University mass shooting that killed two students and to the subsequent killing of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor near Boston. Transcripts of the videos were recovered from an electronic device at a New Hampshire storage facility and translated from Portuguese to English. Valente was found dead by a self-inflicted gunshot wound at that storage facility days after the attacks, preventing investigators from interrogating him. He said he planned the shooting for years, vaguely referenced "the people" he targeted, claimed he sent three emails, refused to apologize, and provided no clear motive.
