A police SUV has been stolen by two men, they have automatic weapons and some reports say they've thrown grenades at police trying to stop them. Possibly related to the MIT shooting, possibly the Boston Marathon bombing. At least one officer shot, according to report.
Here's a live TV feed: http://www1.whdh.com/video/7newslive
Here's the Boston police scanner: http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/6254/web
Scary stuff. Here's hoping the good guys win tonight.
At least one suspect in custody apparently, going by the scanner.
And one police officer already dead (the MIT officer)
I think it may be over. All kinds of cops FBI, ATF, Boston, State Police
Someone else said two in custody, one on the way to the hospital with injuries. Don't think that's been confirmed. No gunshots in the last few minutes. Some good reporting coming from the local TV station, although no one really knows anything for sure yet. Their photog has been right on top of it. Got video of one suspect surrendering.Quote:

Moving the news guys way back now.
Boston Globe is saying the one suspect in custody is a Marathon suspect.

Suspect that was caught is dead apparently, going by whdh, police still looking for someone else.
Twitter is covering this way better than the TV news channels. #watertown
Eh, Twitter basically has a million people saying a million things, of course some of them turn out true.Quote:

Apparently they were brothers - young guys, U.S. citizens, originally from Chechnya and spent some time in Turkey.
