“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.
Loureiro, a native of Portugal, 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.
“Our deepest sympathies are with his family, students, colleagues, and all those who are grieving,” they told The Post. “Focused outreach and conversations are taking place within our community to offer care and support for those who knew Prof. Loureiro, and a message will be shared with our wider community.”
The spokesperson said the investigation is being led by state police, the Norfolk DA, Brookline and MIT police, and said the school would not discuss the shooting further “out of respect for the integrity of this ongoing investigation.

WASHINGTON, D.C., October 8, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – A Georgetown University professor who wished “miserable deaths” on defenders of now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh will be taking a leave of absence ahead of schedule, following the university’s initial attempt to quell the controversy by invoking academic freedom.
The Senate voted 50-48 on Saturdayto confirm Kavanaugh’s appointment, following a bitter three-month battleover his abortion views and unsubstantiated, last-minute allegations of sexual assault. Kavanaugh was privately sworn inhours later, and President Donald Trump plans to hold a public swearing-in ceremony Monday evening.
Georgetown security studies professor Christine Fair ignited controversy starting September 29 when she called Kavanaugh’s defenders “entitled white men justifying a serial rapists’ arrogated entitlement,” who “deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps.” She concluded by suggesting “we castrate their corpses and feed them to swine.”
Fair was suspended — "in error" — from the platform after tweeting the following She is a professor at Georgetown University pic.twitter.com/0R31SNa746— Jon Levine (@LevineJonathan) October 2, 2018
