In the storage unit in New Hampshire where Valente’s body was found, investigators found recordings.
In Portuguese, the shooter said he’d planned the attack for years.
For Georgia native Jacob Spears, who survived the shooting, the amount of time was a shock.
“Six semesters? That’s a long time,” Spears told CNN affiliate WBZ. “That’s before I even was there! This was my first semester, I’m a freshman. Before I was even there, you were planning this.”
Spears was shot in the back, while students Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov were killed.
“Mukhammad, he was my friend,” Spears told WBZ. “That was my friend. Reading it, I tried to keep him out of my mind because I knew that would make it even harder, but I couldn’t.”
Valente, who also said he had no hatred or love for the United States, killed himself after the shooting.
Spears is currently home in Georgia recovering from his wounds, according to reporting by WBZ.
