Overview

  • Federal officials said Wednesday the gunman acted alone with no terrorism ties and chose targets he saw as symbolic of personal grievances.
  • Investigators reported he began planning in 2022, rented a storage unit in Salem, New Hampshire, legally bought the firearms in Florida, and left audio and video admissions.
  • Three unnamed students filed negligence suits in Rhode Island Superior Court alleging Brown ignored a custodian’s reports of the shooter “casing” the building and left key areas without camera coverage.
  • Brown said it is reviewing the complaints and declined further comment, and a court hearing on the cases is scheduled for May 5.
  • The Dec. 13 attack in Brown’s Barus and Holley building killed students Ella Cook, 19, and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, 18, wounded nine others, and was followed by the killing of MIT professor Nuno Loureiro before the gunman died by suicide in a New Hampshire storage unit.
