Brown University Gunman Admits in Videos to Prolonged Attack Preparation

The gunman involved in last month's tragic shootings at Brown University confessed in videos, as per authorities.

Transcripts unveiled by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts reveal that the shooter admitted to planning the attack on Brown over an extended period.

These recordings were discovered in a storage unit located in Salem, New Hampshire. The shooter, identified as 48-year-old, was found dead from suicide several days following the incident. The exact recording date of these videos remains unknown.

Although the recordings, translated from the shooter's native Portuguese by the Justice Department, don't shed light on a motive, the suspect spoke at length about the attacks.

Neves Valente, the shooter, mentioned within one video transcript, "I had numerous chances, notably this semester… but I continually backed out."

Later in the same recording, he added that his "sole aim was to exit more or less on my own terms," indicating that the attack was something he felt was long overdue.

Neves Valente remarked, "To say that I was tremendously content, no, but I also don't regret my actions," reflecting on his feelings post-incident.

As a former graduate student at Brown, Neves Valente shot two students dead and injured nine others during a study session held within a university classroom on December 13. Two days later, he was also responsible for the killing of MIT professor Nuno Loureiro in Brookline, Massachusetts.

Authorities noted that the shooter had previously attended the same university in Portugal where Loureiro studied. It's suspected they had known one another, both being physics students.

The investigation to determine the reasons behind these acts is still ongoing.
