Law enforcement officials are looking into whether two fatal shootings at prominent New England academic institutions may be connected, sources told The NY Post.
The incidents occurred within a short span of time and geographic proximity, prompting investigators to consider a possible relationship between the cases.
On Monday night, MIT nuclear science professor Nuno Lourerio, 47, was found shot to death inside his Brookline, Massachusetts townhouse, a property valued at about $1.4 million.
Just two days earlier, an unidentified gunman opened fire during a final exam review session at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. The Shabbos afternoon attack left two students dead and nine others injured.
The two crime scenes are located less than 50 miles apart.
At this stage of the investigations, authorities have not identified any suspects in either shooting.
