🇺🇸 A prominent nuclear science professor at MIT was shot and killed inside his home in a swanky Massachusetts neighborhood Monday night, with police mum on details of the tragic slaying.
Nuno Loureiro, 47, was found inside the Brookline house by police responding to reports of a man shot around 8:30 p.m., the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office announced on Facebook.
Loureiro was rushed to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead Tuesday morning.
“This is an active and ongoing homicide investigation,” the DA said. “No further information is being released at this time.”
Brookline Police Deputy Superintendent Paul Campbell told WBZ-TV News that the victim “had been shot multiple times,” but would not release further details.
The death follows a mass shooting at Brown University, just 50 miles away, in which two students were killed. The suspect is still on the loose.
At a press briefing Tuesday, law enforcement officials said the two shootings were not connected.
“At this time there seems to be no connection as it related to that particular incident,” FBI Special Agent in Charge Ted Docks told reporters.
Loureiro was a member of the school’s departments of Nuclear Science & Engineering and Physics, and director of the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center, one of the university’s largest labs with more than 250 full-time researchers, a school spokesman said.
