The frantic search for the suspect in Saturday’s shooting at Brown University is now centered on Salem, New Hampshire, where a suspicious vehicle was found outside a storage facility, according to reports and sources.
Heavily armed law enforcement officers swarmed a parked car in Salem late Thursday that appeared to be a similar make and model to a vehicle allegedly spotted near both the scenes of the Ivy League shooting — and the murder of MIT professor Nuno Loureiro in Brookline, according to Boston 25 News and CBS News.
