A 47-year-old MIT professor has died after being shot in his Brookline home Monday night, the DA said.
Officers from the Massachusetts State Police and Brookline Police Department responded to reports of a man shot on Gibb Street.
Nuno F.G. Loureiro was transported to a local hospital and succumbed to his injuries Tuesday morning.
Police are actively investigating the death as a homicide, according to the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office, writing in a statement, “No further information is being released at this time.”
The DA has not said they arrested anyone in connection with the homicide and or identified any suspects.
According to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s website, Loureiro was director of the school’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center as well as a professor of nuclear science and engineering and physics.
The article posted above is an excerpt.
From Rhode Island to Massachusetts takes about an hour and a half according to google
Wonder if he had anything to do with Hillary and the Skolkovo project?
That would be from Providence RI to Brookline MA during rush hour.
It is 45 miles so an hour or so at other times.
Two grim possibilities:
Is this and the Brown University shooting connected, or, are there two different assassin(s) on the loose in New England?
Going to go out on limb here and posit that this man was killed by a foreign power in order to hinder American fusion research.
A Jewish, pro-Israel Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor has died after being shot at his home Monday evening, campus officials confirmed on Tuesday.
Nuno F. Gomes Loureiro, 47, a Portuguese-born nuclear science and engineering professor, was shot "multiple times" at his Brookline apartment and succumbed to his injuries Tuesday morning at a Boston hospital, according to Brookline police and MIT authorities.
Iran vowed revenge....
MIT professorships are very rare, and heading their largest physics research lab is even more rare. They funded by the highest levels of government and finance. This guy was no ordinary academic
Even with the little bit we know, he was clearly targeted.
The prospect of effectively "free" fusion energy, if ever achieved, would change everything about economics and global politics
It could very well be a decapitation strike.
> Iran vowed revenge....
Our country has been flooded with imported assassins and saboteurs. This is only the beginning.
They’d be a lot better off addressing their water crisis...
Besides, if this gets traced back to Iran, Trump may tell Bibi: “Do whatever you have to do.”
"In January, President Joseph R. Biden Jr. announced that Dr. Loureiro was one of nearly 400 scientists who had been awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. The administration called it the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on outstanding scientists and engineers at the start of their careers.
M.I.T. said the National Science Foundation had nominated Dr. Loureiro for the award because of his work on the generation and amplification of magnetic fields in the universe."
What, more “alarmism” and “gaslighting” on the part of Jews?
Quick! Call the Casual Dismissal Crew to set everyone at ease!
Mac, tell us all how Jews need not take reasonable security precautions again!
Unlikely but what a whale of a news story. Many killers have traveled and kept on the move in the past. This one? Who knows?
Samuel Little confessed to 90 killings in different locations from CA to FL from 1970 -2005. He confessed to get a better prison location in a deal. Local police each were unaware of a link to others and the pattern that he was the one on the move.
In Chicago they would put the local story like that well under the top ones. "Only two?"
Same academic subject as the exam attacked in Providence
Thanks
Top Right corner again!
Phew. Good thing the ox cart with the evil ideas won’t make it down to the Bottom Right corner for 3 more weeks, so Jews in Florida can rest easy.
I mean, nothing bad has happened to a Jew down there recently anyways.
Electrons? Wait, what are those? Whoa. You mean an evil idea can get from the Top Right to the Bottom Right faster than the ox cart? Man! Do Jews need to take reasonable precautions in Florida because of what happened in New England?
You recently promised me that geography stops evil ideas from being acted upon in random places. You know, by spontaneous Jihadis!
Crap. Guess I’ll have to take reasonable precautions because your geographic fencing of evil ideas was wrong!
His bio says he’s married , three children and that the family lives in Brookline.
No mention of his family and their whereabouts at all from what I have read so far.
I found that strange.
