Brown University Faces US Probe After Deadly Shooting


(MENAFN- The Peninsula) The Washington Post

Providence: Brown University placed its campus police chief on administrative leave and the Trump administration announced an investigation into the school's security measures after a shooting rampage this month that killed two students and injured nine others.

The Education Department's Office of Federal Student Aid will review whether Brown violated the Clery Act, a 1990 law that requires colleges to uphold certain safety and security standards, according to a statement.

State and local officials have said a lack of clear security-camera footage from inside the Barus & Holley engineering building where the shooting took place slowed the search for the shooter.

The body of the suspected shooter, Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, was found after a multiday manhunt in a storage unit in Salem, New Hampshire. Police say Valente, a 48-year-old Portuguese national who attended Brown as a student, took his own life.
