Shooting reported on MIT campus

[Blue3]

FBI has been seen there

[Blue3]

Anything notable about this situation? Many people are shot everyday.

A few miles away. Chatter that this could be related to the Boston marathon bombings.

[Blue3]

Insanity

[Blue3]

So is a link confirmed between this and the bombing?

I certainly hope so, but remember what country you're in. It could just be another shooting.

But explosives, grenades, and IED's???

[Blue3]

Have the explosives been confirmed beyond eyewitness accounts?

CNN is showing footage of the naked suspect being put into the cop car. From far off, I can't say he looks too much like white hat guy. It's obviously possible, but the guy's facial feature look a bit rounder here.

Mind you, reddit has been going nuts with people suspecting that white hat guy had a fake nose and chin, so who knows?

They're saying they caught the black hat guy, police still looking for white hat guy

NBC:

High-ranking law enforcement says this is the Boston Marathon suspects.

Black Hat is Dead.

White Hat is At Large.


(also, 3 armed robberies, the carjacking at one of the robbed gas stations)

[Blue3]

Does anyone have a good photo of the 711 photo???



There were also armed robberies at a 711, and 2 gas stations today/tonight too. Carjacking was at a gas station too.

Does anyone have a good photo of the 711 photo???

c/o the reddit thread where i've been following this

Thank you.

Guy on NBC in contact with FBI said if these guys are who they think they are, then they entered the US a year ago and (before or after coming to US) they received military training.

Yet they got caught robbing a 7-11 and carjacking? You'd think they would have received better training. 

Unless they're trying to terrorize, hit soft targets now that they have everyone's attention

[Blue3]

Pete Williams on NBC said they are from the Caucasia region (Chechnya, Turkey, around there)



And yeah, they have confirmed it's definitely not the Brown student.

Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev... 19 years old (White Hat)

Black Hat was 20 years old, his brother.

[Blue3]

Lived in the US for 10 years.

[Blue3]

They may know Dzhokar's (White Hat's) location...

 They're also saying now that HE is the one who ran over and killed his own brother earlier.

 Also a third person of interest in custody. And now a fourth.



Recap on the Suspects:
 Tamerlan was born in Russia, was 26, parents fled the area near Chechnya due to rising violence in early 90's, Dzhokhar was born when they were refugees in Kyrgyzstan as they awaited permission for residency in America (he's 19), they have been in America since 2002, became permanent legal resident in 2007.

Entire city of Boston is now included in the lockdown.

The older brother has a 2 year old daughter in Rhode Island.

These guys were just downright stupid...yes, their pictures were out there, but no one was pointing a finger at them, yet.  They should have just gotten the hell out of Dodge while they had the chance.  Instead, they draw attention to themselves by committing armed robbery, kidnapping, auto theft, and murder.  Brilliant.

But, it is starting to look like Mr. White Hat managed to escape.

Not stupid. terrorizing. They succeeded.

And the younger brother did become a citizen on 9/11/2012.

He sent out a tweet a couple hours ago, saying he's stress-free:

Can he avoid death penalty if he gives answers? Hopefully he'll be telling everything ASAP.

Massachusetts does not have the death penalty.

Federal crimes.

Boston Globe reporting that 3 people have been arrested in connection w/bombings.

I wonder who the third person might be?

I believe it's three other people in New Bedford, MA.  May have to do with a women who had the older brother's baby.

His wife or another woman?

Police are saying there was no arrest in New Bedford

I think I posted it earlier, but the family released a statement 4 hours ago, the older brother has a now-widow (Portuguese/Italian, rhode island) and a 3-year-old daughter.
