MIT Shooting

All available units moving to Charles Circle

They have the suspect in custody!

3 middle eastern males stopped in a cab. One is believed to be the suspect

If that's him then he escaped the 20 block zone by far and was quite mobile.

1 white male and 2 middle eastern, bomb squad moving to Charles Circle

Fresh blood found

You're beating live television on the scanner by a full 2 minutes. Hopefully it's the suspect, but the distance from the area law enforcement are concentrated in Watertown, the possibility this isn't the suspect is certainly clear.

the twitter microscope on all of this is destroying the investigation..can boston police turn off the scanner access to the public or is there some rule where they have to keep it on?

They'd have to get it encrypted.

Seemed like due diligence by law enforcement because of the distance from the door to door search area.

AP says bombing suspects are Russian ?

 

[dublinirish]

could be Chechnyan Islamists i suppose..kinda rules out that kid from Brown University then he was Indian American.

Let's try to refrain from blatant speculation. We'll have plenty of time to have a rational discourse once all the facts are available. Lest us not forget we're not out of the woods yet. There is a terrorist on the run in a major American city.

Fox reporting two brothers, named Tsarnaev, who have been in the country for over a year living in Cambridge.

[BGIF]

For over 10 minutes Fox has been talking about the situation while a bomb disposal guy in a bomb suit made two trips to two objects, one looking (to me) like a knapsack and the other like a computer shoulder bag. Somebody at the network finally recognized there was something significant happening in the center of their feed while they babbled about events of the past few hours. One of their reporters finally commented that the bomb specialist was trying to detonate the suspicious package. It has since been removed.

 

[BGIF]

Fox just showed lots of buses delivering a lot more law enforcement to Watertown. They're also bringing in water supply trucks and porta potties. Fox says there gearing up for the long haul.

Hey guys, I just woke up here in Cambridge. What is the situation for me?

Hey guys, I just woke up here in Cambridge. What is the situation for me?

Mass transit shutdown. Harvard and other colleges shutdown for day. Some business closed.

One bomber killed last night in Watertown shoot out, his brother loose and law enforcement not sure if he's in Watertown or Cambridge.

Stay put!

anyone have a working link to the police scanners?

I'm confused...what is this then?

"Police on scanner identify the names of #BostonMarathon suspects in gunfight, Suspect 1: Mike Mulugeta. Suspect 2: Sunil Tripathi"

The reason why news outlets didn't release unconfirmed names that were being thrown around on social media.

Incorrect reports according to the media.

Ok. Thanks. I just wanted to be sure. Thought maybe it was the same guys who had just changed their name or something.

Posted this in the other thread too. Chechnya is a major hub for terrorist activity from radical Islamist groups. The rebels there were responsible for attacking that play and also killing children in that horrible elementary school attack. Very violent stuff. Be careful up there anyone who's in the area.
