News reports of gunfire and explosions at MIT.

WTF?

Police have two suspects in custody.

 

One police officer died as a result of multiple gunshot wounds.

I heard reports the suspects were of middle eastern decent. It's only 2 miles from the Boston bombing site. Reported explosives and grenades on scene where the officer was shot.

 

Possibly the suspects in the bombing?

 

 

 

EDIT: one suspect in custody, one at large. Two pipe bombs possibly in middle of an intersection.

You can see the scorch marks on the asphalt in the above picture from the said detonated device.

It's reported that the suspects are using flares to disrupt the search by the helicopters with their thermal imaging cameras.

These aren't just some run of the mill guys causing some trouble. This took lots of planning and training.

Ok Update...one suspect was in custody, but died.

 

One suspect is still at large. Police identified the at large suspect as the male wearing the white hat in the FBI photos in relation to the Boston bombing.

0619 and one of them is still on the run

Huh? The US Army? Isn't that in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act ?

Don't you worry about violations. America has been deemed a battlefield

You think the govt actually cares about the law?

And at this point, I'm fine with that- so long as I can go into "battle" ARMED, like my enemies are.

I dunno if this is a foreign attack on US soil why wouldn't the military be involved?

Possible Chechnyan I think I heard...

Turkish

They've been saying Chechnyans all morning Shawn.... never heard Turk yet...

 

Turkish

Yes, Beslan....

 

And remember what they did in a school not oh so long ago.....

Seems every news station has a different nationality. I guess we will see

There is a difference between using the Army for bomb disposal and using them as law enforcement. Still, a more likely scenario is that the news had their organization wrong.

if we need the army to dispose of explosives safely due to some lunatic running around a city with bombs.... I am sorry to say but I am OK with that..

My Facebook has officially lit up blaming 46 senators for these killers having the ability to acquire weapons.

 

Get ready for the blame game.

Exactly......I can't wait to hear the spin.

People like this give young 20 year olds like myself an awful name. I don't even want to tell anyone I own guns and enjoy shooting them almost more then anything

Something going down live now. They believe they have someone cornered in a house by Willow... Surrounded and choppers on sight.

PS: They lived in Turkey, but are Chechnyans...

They aren't letting much news cam coverage now because they don't want the scene to be compromised...

Am I the only one who thinks its odd they stayed around the same area and didnt try to flee out of state after the bombing

They are saying they most likely didn't think they'd get caught so fast and didn't plan a fast enough escape.

I agree, I would of thought they would have been in Canada or Mexico by now.
