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!

Wow, ok thanks. MIT is just two blocks from us.

We just found out the 7/11 they robbed and had the car hijacked at was the one at our corner that we use. This is insane.

We're all praying for you and everyone else involved with this tragedy. Stay home, stay safe.

7 towns from Watertown back to entire city of Boston "shelter in place" - lockdown. Only open door for .i.d bearing LEOs.

CNN notes 9,000 Law Enforcement personnel involved with manhunt.

CNN reports older brother deceased was non drinking, non smoking Muslim.

First I've heard that.

First I've heard that.

And they've lived in the same area for years. A few blocks from the bomb site.

Religious extremists that came here to kill, sadly. Likely getting orders from a larger groups is what I'm speculating.

I just woke up here in California. They haven't updated the story on CNN yet.

So this shooting at MIT last night was part of this?

Did they find him? Or what?

The media doesn't know. Police appeared to be closing in on a building in Watertown but then stopped per CNN.

Meanwhile the other 6 towns are still locked down.
