Rhode Island Attorney General Says Brown University Shooter Might Have Made “Barking Noise” Before Opening Fire (VIDEO)

Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha on Thursday evening said the Brown University shooter made “barking noises” before opening fire.

The shooter, 48-year-old Claudio Neves-Valente, was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside of a storage unit in Salem, New Hampshire, on Thursday evening.

Neves-Valente was found dead six days after he opened fire at Brown University and killed two students and critically wounded nine.

He was a Brown University student and a Portuguese national. DHS Chief Kristi Noem said Neves-Valente entered the US on an immigration lottery in 2017.

On Thursday evening, a reporter asked Rhode Island AG Neronha about what Neves-Valente allegedly shouted as he opened fire.

According to unconfirmed reports, Neves-Valente reportedly shouted “Allah Akbar” as he opened fire.

However, Neronha says the shooter reportedly made barking noises as he opened fire.

“In terms of what was said, I don’t know anymore today than what I told you yesterday. There are some witnesses said he said nothing. There are some that say he made a barking noise. I don’t know why. And that’s it,” AG Neronha said.

He continued, “There is no other spoken word beyond that that we are aware of.”
