A shooter attacked an exam-prep session at Brown on Dec. 13, killing two students and injuring nine others. Brown swiftly canceled final exams and sent students home early for the winter break as law enforcement hunted for the person responsible. After a nearly week-long manhunt, the shooter — Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, a former Brown student — was found dead in a storage facility in New Hampshire.
