One was a home invasion that may or may not be related to the victims work on fusion plasma. It is very likely unrelated to that work.

The other was a mass shooting style event that targetted an exam preperation review hall populated by econ students and led by a 21-year-old teaching assistant.

It's a stretch to connect an isolated murder of a field advancing physics researcher and a hall full of students just because all the victims are involved in book learning.

Possible connection, sure. At an improbable stretch.

ChatGPT can certainly knock up a Clancy like novel here, no doubt.
