According to Fox News, one of the suspects in the bombing at the Boston Marathon has been killed and the other has killed a police officer and stolen a car (the guy in the white cap, they say). That one is still on the loose;

State police spokesman David Procopio told news agency, “The incident in Watertown did involve what we believe to be explosive devices possibly, potentially, being used against the police officers.”

Fox News reporters on the scene cannot yet confirm these reports.

Earlier Friday, Cambridge police and the Middlesex District Attorney’s office said the MIT officer was responding to a report of a disturbance when he was shot multiple times late Thursday. He later died at a hospital. His name was not immediately released.

Procopio said the shooting took place about 10:30 p.m. outside an MIT building. The area was cordoned off and surrounded by responding law enforcement agencies, according to a posting on the university’s website.

Watching the local NBC News here, there was a press conference by the police who say they’ve shut down Watertown, MA, not allowing anyone in or out of town and they’ve told businesses to not open today. The local news also reports that both suspects have only been in the country for a year or saw and have international ties, but, again, there has been so much misinformation in this case, tale it all with a grain of salt.

From NBC4 in DC, this video taken with a cell phone of the shoot out at MIT;

UPDATE: The local CBS News reports that the second suspect is a 19-year-old Chechen named Dzhokar Tsarnaev. Bloomberg reports that one of the victims of the bombing helped identify the Tsarnaev brothers.

Here’s a video of Dzhokar, I think, not that you can understand him;

Tsarnaev

Fox News is saying that the brothers were here on a US taxpayer funded scholarship. So I guess the bombing was just their way of saying “Thanks, America”.

For some reason, MSNBC is saying he’s from Kzyrkistan.

CNN is interviewing a high school friend who thinks he was radicalized recently, that he was “forced” into terrorism.

CNN is reduced to reporting smells. CNN news chick; The police have their hands on the barrel of their guns…not the barrel…[pause]…the base of thier guns….

CNN reports that police are moving the media back and expanding their taped-off area. FBI’s HRT has arrived on the scene.

Fox reports that Associated Press talked to his father, in Russia, who said he is a 2d year medical student. He’s a “true angel“.

CNN is a bunch idiots. He just said that the older brother was “a boxer, a two-time Golden Globe winner”

CNN is pulling a Treyvon Martin thing – showing pictures of the misguided youth when he was a couple of years younger instead of the pictures of him robbing a convenience store or planting a bomb.

Meanwhile, MSNBC is trying to convince us that there is no terror network – that these two set off on their own to bomb Boston, which may well be the case, but stop driving so hard for the loop.

MSNBC is also reporting that a third suspect has been apprehended on a train to Connecticut.

According to MSNBC, the police found an unexploded IED at the train station in Boston which is why they shut down Boston.

Media is speculating that this video was posted to YouTube by the older brother on his account “The Emergence of Prophecy: The Black Flags From Khorasan”;

Bill Hemmer at Fox News says he heard shots fired, and something about an explosion near the Dunkin Donuts which solves the mystery, because, ya know, America runs on Dunkin. That’s been their target all along.

In regards to Sean Collier, the officer who was killed.

So; is he a member of a rightwing extremist/militia or is he someone who was radicalized through his older radicalized brother?

I wonder where the bomb making training got done and by who? Brother went back to Russia for 6 months last year? Hmmmmmmm, I think he could have probably gotten trained in the types of IEDs and methods of planting them in that 6 months? Nah, I think he’s one of them anti-gummint patriot types.

Not that a foreign gummint asked the US to check out the older brother back in 2010 and got a clean bill, obviously, and then went on to travel freely back to Russia and probably down to Chechnya for some good ‘ol jihadi training.

I still stand by my previous statements. Jihadi attack.

And so it begins. Hasan has a head start of a few years but I figure that MA attorneys are more adept at delaying tactics than Hasan’s. My prediction for a trial: 2018.

@202. Yes, he was ‘scrubbed.’When a foreign gov’t asks the US to have a look-see at a specific individual, that’s reason enough for alarm, I would think. But I don’t work for the gov’t and they’re the experts. Right.

I’m qutie glad they caught him alive. I hope he spills his useless innards.

The legal follies are underway with the admin saying it can bypass mirandizing him and the ACLU saying nyet! I may have been optimistic in my trial prediction 0f 2018.
