I don't think so, somehow....the police hunt for this lunatic has been characterised by the sort of Keystone Kops performance we've come to expect this side of the pond.
Indeed, if not for the help of the public, they’d still be in the dark.
Authorities had earlier said they had identified the shadowy figure caught on surveillance footage near the scene of Saturday's shooting, whose face they had been attempting to find with the help of grainy surveillance footage.
Even his own mother would be hard pressed to recognise him from that, so it’s astounding a civilian did…
The gunman who killed two students at Brown University was found dead in a storage unit as it was revealed his main target was an MIT professor he shot dead in Boston. The suspect - 48-year-old Claudio Neves Valente - was revealed to be a Portuguese national who studied at the Ivy League school in Rhode Island more than 20 years ago. After being on the lam for days, his eventual demise stemmed from a Reddit post that flagged his suspicious activity outside the Providence campus.
It was unclear what the shooter's motive was or what his relationship with Loureiro had been.
No doubt we’ll find out in due course.
