Police: white male with curly hair should be considered armed and extremely dangerous; possibly has assault rifle and explosives

Basically, we don't know what the hell is going on.

National media should just be on live feeds of their local affiliates. Anyone else who doesn't know facts shouldn't be reporting their stuff as facts.

Apparently someone dropped the f-bomb on WCVB and the reporter began to apologize and then said, "You know what, it's 2 Am and bullets have been fired."

This is how normal people behave, you see.

What's your point?

Societal rules against swearing are usually suspended in times of great stress.  Just something to think about, that's all.

I didn't say otherwise.  You seem to be insinuating that I disapproved of it or something.

This really isn't the time or place for this discussion, but all I'll say is that you're apparently missing the point in a quite dramatic way.

Police scanner saying the second suspect is the one "in the white hat in the photos", seemingly referencing the Boston Marathon photos

So, are we guessing the nationality of the suspects ?

Saudis ? Egyptians ? Iraqis ?

I'd say from the Gulf, with possibilities for Egypt and Pakistan.

Conflicting info from WDWH Boston: One suspect is dead; the two of them were involved in a 7/11 robbery (so not the marathon bombers??)

From what I gather, they are the marathon bombers AND they robber gas station/convinence store tonight AND shot a policeman on MIT campus while fleeing.

7News is completely contradicting the Boston Globe.  Somebody's wrong.

They're white. The police are describing them as white.

They're white.

And relatively young-looking.

Your obsession of you being sure they are Arabs is disturbing.

They're in foot pursuit.  Police are sending in "SWAT assets".

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?

I believe white hat guy was suspect #2, who is still on the run.
