After a nearly weeklong manhunt that left the nation on edge, police have identified the shooting suspect who killed two Brown University students and an MIT professor.
The cold-blooded Brown University and MIT shooter Claudio Neves Valente callously admitted he long plotted the killings and expressed having no regrets over the bloodshed in a series of chilling video confessions outlined by the feds Tuesday.
The Justice Department unveiled the venomous, rambling transcripts of four videos the 48-year-old Portuguese national recorded last month after opening fire at the Rhode Island Ivy League school, killing two students, then traveling to Massachusetts, where he “It’s done. It was six months, man. Not six months, six semesters, I had already planned this for a little more,” Valente“I also don’t regret what I did. But it was really hard, man. I really have far, far too much inertia.”In the recordings — translated from Portuguese to English — the deranged killer said the mass shooting was a moment of “opportunity” and his only objective was to die on his “own terms” — to ensure he “wouldn’t be the one who ended up suffering the most from all of this.”Best of the Babylon Bee: Trump imposes 25 percent tariff on all Christmas presents from North Pole “I’m not going to apologize, because during my lifetime no one sincerely apologized to me,” he seethed in the recording, logged inside the New Hampshire storage unitThe former physics grad student, who spent only three semesters at Brown before dropping out in 2003, said he was envious of those who have “no difficulty” killing others., said he was envious of those who have “no difficulty” killing others, adding that he had several chances to unleash gunfire at the prestigious institution, but had previously backed down.“And I had plenty of opportunities, especially this semester, I had plenty of opportunities, but I always chickened out.” But on Dec. 13, Valente found his twisted courage. The gun-toting madman sprayed more than 40 bullets into a lecture hall at the elite Providence university,then traveled 50 miles and shot dead Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Nuno Loureiro, 47, in his $1.4 million Brookline townhouse two days later, authorities said. The pair had studied together in Portugal years ago.While the killer didn’t provide a motive for the deadly attacks, he said he sent three emails to others detailing his reasoning behind the slaughters, according to the transcript. More information about those emails — including whom they were sent to or what they said — is not immediately available. The school shooter also fumed in the recordings that he was “sane” during the killing spree — and that he had no interest in being famous but enjoyed President Trump labeling him an “animal” for the deadly rampage. “I already know what you are going to say — that I am mentally ill, or some s–t like that. That is all nonsense. That’s all bulls—t excuses. I am — I am sane,” Valente raged.Valente fatally shot himself inside the storage unit after recording the videos — believing he had “a few good hours” before investigators found him.“I also have no interest in being famous. I don’t give a damn about how you judge me or what you think of me.” Valente fatally shot himself inside the storage unit after recording the videos — believing he had “a few good hours” before investigators found him.
