It's just a bad week in America is all. It happens every now and then. Those of us who have been around a long time know this. Don't get depressed, keep the faith. We'll get through it like we always do. With dignity and pride and a Kick-butt attitude.

Im about to turn off the TV, the computer, the phone, and take a case of beer and pack of bacon out to the garage, throw in an old Metallica CD, and rebuild my Camaro. Im about sick of the bad news all the time.

I have seen multiple stories on the MIT shooting, with the same overhead picture. The first one I saw showed police vehicles around a body and what appears to be blood on the sidewalk, the rest seem to be cutting the picture down. I can't believe how fast they get these photos out. And they have been gruesome lately.


EDIT: Gunamn possibly disarmed according to Gawker (Not sure of the credibility) and Believed to have attempted a robbery at a nearby 7/11 prior to this incident

I'm listening to live scanner traffic. Officers are screaming on the radio... shots fired, grenades are being thrown, "loud explosions". It sounds horrifying.

Officers on scene requesting long guns. EOD is on scene in several locations. Multiple explosives/ordinances. One police officer is down but can not be retrieved - he is either surrounded by or next to live ordinance.

BROADCASTIFY ISNT LOADING PROPERLY ON MY WORK COMPUTER!!!!!

Teams of officers are deploying, searching neighborhoods yard by yard. More tactical and SWAT officers are enroute. Unexploded ordinance remains in Watertown.

Witness states that suspect threw what"appeared to be a pressure cooker" at police during chase.


So far what I have read, 2 suspects shot at officer at MIT. 1 in custody, another in a car surrounded- said to have long gun.

If not already said, I regret to say that injured officer did not survive. No offical statement has been made, no doubt pending next of kin notification, but many reliable sources have confirmed this info.

Pressure cooker bomb found as per Boston News 7 who is streaming live on scene.


Its looking like they are connecting many dots, Confirming with law enforcement that the deceased suspect and the remaining are in fact the Bombers from the marathon incident.


I haven't seen any confirmation its directly connected to MIT though?

Boston on lockdown, as police hunt remaining Marathon bombing suspect | Fox News

BREAKING NEWS: One of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing is dead, the other on the loose and large parts of the city are on virtual lockdown after a chaotic night of mayhem that included the murder of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer and a shootout with police, authorities said early Friday.

Police believe the two men, believed to be the suspects from Monday's terror attack, are brothers, possibly from Chechnya or Turkey, according to sources who spoke to Fox News. The man on the loose was identified as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass. They are believed to have been here for 'several years,' sources said.


Schools are closed, train and bus service is suspended and police were telling residents of neighborhoods including Cambridge, Waltham, Watertown, Newton, Arlington and Belmont to stay indoors. Police have formed a wide perimeter and believe the suspect is on foot, armed and dangerous, inside.


"Suspect No. One is dead, Suspect Two is on the run," Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said at a Friday morning press conference. "There is a massive manhunt underway."


The suspects apparently surfaced just hours after the FBI released their imaged late Thursday afternoon, shooting the police officer, robbing a convenience store, carjacking a man who later escaped and engaging in a wild shootout with Boston police, in which they hurled explosives from their stolen car.


Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said on Twitter that one of the two suspects was killed and that the at-large suspect, labeled by the FBI as "suspect two" in the marathon bombing, was "armed and dangerous."


Authorities urged residents in Watertown, Newton, Waltham, Belmont, Cambridge and the Allston-Brighton neighborhoods of Boston to stay indoors. All mass transit was shut down.


"We believe this to be a terrorist," Davis said in a press conference. "We believe this to be a man who's come here to kill people. We need to get him in custody."


The Middlesex district attorney said the two men are suspected of killing the MIT police officer on campus late Thursday, then stealing a car at gunpoint and later releasing its driver unharmed. Hours earlier, police had released photos of the marathon bombing suspects and asked for the public's help finding them.


The suspects threw explosives from the car as police followed it into Watertown, according to the district attorney's news release. The suspects and police exchanged gunfire, and one of the suspects was critically injured and later died while the other escaped.


During the pursuit, a MBTA transit police officer was seriously injured and transported to the hospital, the news release states. Details on the officer's condition were not immediately available Friday morning.


Hours earlier, police had released photos of the marathon bombing suspects and asked for the public's help finding them. A new photo of the suspect on the loose was released later showing him in a grey hoodie sweatshirt. It was taken at a 7-Eleven in Cambridge, just across the Charles River from Boston.


A federal law enforcement official told Fox News they are looking into whether the bombing suspects may have been from overseas and had overseas military training.


Dozens of officers and National Guard members descended on Watertown shortly after the shooting outside a building on MIT's campus in Cambridge, according to the Associated Press. Authorities were calling for somebody to get on the ground and put their hands up and a loud thud was heard after someone shouted "fire in the hole," the news agency reported.Witnesses told The Associated Press they heard multiple gunshots and explosions at about 1 a.m. Friday. Dozens of police officers and FBI agents were in the neighborhood and a helicopter circled overhead.


State police spokesman David Procopio told news agency, "The incident in Watertown did involve what we believe to be explosive devices possibly, potentially, being used against the police officers."


Doctors at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston where a suspect in the marathon bombings was taken and later died said they treated a man with a possible blast injury and multiple gunshot wounds. They wouldn't say if the patient they treated, who came in with police, was the suspect in the black hat from marathon surveillance footage.


Earlier Friday, Cambridge police and the Middlesex District Attorney's office said the MIT officer was responding to a report of a disturbance when he was shot multiple times late Thursday. He later died at a hospital. His name was not immediately released.


Procopio said the shooting took place about 10:30 p.m. outside an MIT building. The area was cordoned off and surrounded by responding law enforcement agencies, according to a posting on the university's website.


The shooting came little more than three days after the twin bombings on the Boston Marathon that killed three people, wounded more than 180 others and led to an increase in security across the city.
