Shooting at MIT/Chase/Explosions and Apprehension in Cambridge

[CMJ]

Anyone watching this stuff the last 90 minutes? This is crazy shit. I am really wondering if this is related to the Marathon bombing.

EDIT: The apprehension was in Watertown Mass

I don't usually follow twitter, but I found this guy who apparently lived right over where police and the suspect had a shootout.

Wow.

[CMJ]

Remember that kid (Sunil Tripathi) who went missing at Brown last month? He's apparently one of the suspects!

Following the scanners...Boston PD was at 465 Arsenal St for a break in....not sure if related to the suspect who got away.

And various twitter searches.

Before Sunnil Tripathi went missing, there were mysterious explosives set off near where he was living.

Boston police scanners are now saying they will wait til daylight to sweep through the area that the suspect is pinned in

[CMJ]

I think the report of the dead suspect was false. Kind of like how briefly I heard two suspects were in custody, but it was because they interviewed the guy naked and clothed and it confused onlookers.

[bstnsportsfan3]

so the first guy is dead...wasnt he the one that was arrested? so how did he die? wtf this i so confusing.

[CMJ]

This is so crazy. Even more so because so few people are awake and following it...feels like we are in on a secret that everyone will wake up to in a few hours.

[CMJ]

I certainly think that twitter and other sources jump the gun at times, but you'd think CNN would have someone following this stuff and maybe let the two parties know.

Nice source.

[CMJ]

I am just surprised they haven't reported on the motion detectors being tripped back in Boston.

[CMJ]

Sorry man. I am regretting staying up too!

[CMJ]

It's the earlier arrest, I am nearly certain.

[CMJ]

They must think he has a scanner.

Here's a security picture from the 7/11 that got held up.

[CMJ]

Found a box of wires. Wonder if those were for explosives not set off.

[CMJ]

Okay....so one suspect was killed. So was the guy who was undressed just some poor sap? Talk about worst night ever.

[CMJ]

That actually is probably what happened.

WORST

NIGHT

EVER

[CMJ]

Yeah, I think he's gonna try and blow up the SWAT team when they try and breach the building he's in. In wonder how much explosives he still has.

[CMJ]

I just read someone that said 9K officers have been mobilized. WTF. Is that like every officer in 2 counties? This is Grand Theft Auto type shit.
