Looks like it could be him: New pics - same guy?: http://www.fbi.gov/news/updates-on-investigation-into-multiple-explosions-in-boston/updates-on-investigation-into-multiple-explosions-in-boston
BringBackFergy Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Suspect #1 (in the dark hat) is dead (according to Boston Fox news)...the other suspect in white hat still on the loose.
bbb Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 It's really insane trying to keep with this on twitter, reddit, and scanners. The networks are way behind.
mead107 Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 No trains. Daughter was told that her building in down town is closed this morning.
The Poojer Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 This is all so fascinating! Apparently suspect #2 may be wired with explosives... Wow! Apparently both are brothers from Chechnya
mead107 Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 My daughter has friends in Watertown . Her phone has been going off with text messages all night
PTS Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Al Qaeda was apparently training cells in Chechnya. Looking for recruits that look more 'American'.
shrader Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 My daughter has friends in Watertown . Her phone has been going off with text messages all night I work in watertown and a lot of our employees live there. This is going to be a long day. I was going to drive up to NH after work but I may just go now just to be out of Boston.

She flew home last night. 10:50 as she was driving home from the airport she said that a ton of emergency vehicles heading in to the city. Edited April 19, 2013 by mead107

I'm in somerville right now so fortunately I'm out of the way. It's crazy though to see the video they're showing on TV right now and I recognize one of the streets as one I drive to work on

NoSaint Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Well that escalated quickly overnight! This being passed as the missing suspects "Facebook," or atleast a peer site http://m.vk.com/id160300242
shrader Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Well that escalated quickly overnight! They reported the MIT cop shooting at around 10:30 and then had a very large manhunt going on right away. At that point I knew it was theses guys. I just wish I had stayed up a little longer because it looks like all the watertown stuff happened about 30 minutes after I turned the tv off.
Kelly the Dog Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 One brother allegedly drove over the other brother with the SUV they carjacked. Don't know if that was just happenstance during his escape, which it seemed to be, or somewhat intentional. One report I read said the one fell out of the SUV in the gunfight so it likely was during the getaway.

If the one is actually still loose, it'd be quite the feat. The number of people chasing him from close proximity, to evade them even for a short span is crazy

Don't know if that was just happenstance during his escape, which it seemed to be, or somewhat intentional. One report I read said the one fell out of the SUV in the gunfight so it likely was during the getaway. It sounds like he ran him over after he had already been shot by the police. From what they're saying on the local news, it sounds like the older brother sacrificed himself so his brother could get away. They said he was on the street moving towards the cops and firing. If the one is actually still loose, it'd be quite the feat. The number of people chasing him from close proximity, to evade them even for a short span is crazy They're surrounding a specific house right now, so he may very well be in there. A woman came out of the house with a young child. They won't say much about it right now. A lot action on a live shot from that house right now. The police are running aroud quite a bit now. They found something.

You gotta assume they've got something with that many cops on scene.

Out of curiousity, what station are you watching it on? Are they showing this stuff outside of Boston? And yes, the live viewing is crazy. The cops just shut them down though. So this is definitely the guy. Now they're saying on local tv (NBC station) that they're not giving away any addresses or streets. They just did about 5 minutes earlier! I looked it up and its a neighborhood just off of an area I drive through daily. Edited April 19, 2013 by shrader
