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.

Scary stuff. Here's hoping the good guys win tonight.

At least one suspect in custody apparently, going by the scanner.
Go Gators!
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.Originally Posted by KronoRed

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

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.
Go Gators!
Surreal morning here. Got half the region on lockdown. Everything's closed while they hunt for the second suspect.
Apparently they were brothers - young guys, U.S. citizens, originally from Chechnya and spent some time in Turkey.
