Thanks for posting. To me the two guys in the picture released by the FBI re: the marathon bombing look like typical foreign MIT students. Possibly related. Maybe an arrest is imminent.

i listenend to the whole thing, its ****ed up. multiple explosions, shots fired, ANOTHER cop got shot in addition to the MIT officer that died earlier. original call came in from a guy saying these two took him hostage and made him drive them around for half an hour before stealing his car, watertown PD found said car, tried to stop it, and all this shit exploded.

Quoted from a guy that was listening to the police scanner.

Excuse his language.

Boston Marathon bombing suspect in custody, another on the loose - Metro - The Boston Globe

Looks like this is probably related to the Boston Marathon bombing?

Crazy! Stay safe Bostonians.

I hear that Black Hat is dead in a firefight, and White Hat is holed up in a warehouse. Haven't seen confirmation of that yet. These are definitely the Boston Marathon bombing suspects though.

I'm wondering how many people this truly involves since I can't believe it's just those two guys.

That MIT shooting happened very close to my office. Work is closed today. I'm at home, clinging to my guns and religion.

Holy crap.

I've been listening to the police scanner for about 10 hours now and it has been ****ing crazy. 1 suspect is a medical student the other has trained has a boxer, ages 19 and 26 and they are brothers

The operational HQ is at the Arsenal Mall in Watertown. There are apparently a ton of cops at the HQ. There is a Dunkin Donuts at the Arsenal Mall. Coincidence?

M1911 · Apr 20, 2013

And they got him. Thank God.

Hats Off to Reddit for Boston Bomb Sleuthing

Hats off to Reddit. The amateur Internet detectives on the social news site may not have cracked the Boston Marathon bombing case by any stretch of the imagination, but in the past 24 hours they helped to identify and publicize some important and useful evidence in the face of a growing barrage of criticism from the tech and mainstream press.

"the most crowdsourced terror investigation in American history," as The Atlantic's Rebecca Greenfield called it

Small sample of Reddit Live TimeLine .... (It's quite incredible)

From the live audio feed: MIT Officer shot and his firearm was stolen. [Small Edit] Officer is on his way to the hospital [Mass General]. No update on his condition. MIT is also updating their emergency site with news.

EDIT 11:26 EST: They have a photo of the alleged suspect.
EDIT 11:27 EST: Heard a Black Male in all black clothing.
EDIT 11:32 EST: NBC just reported the shots on TV. No new info there.
EDIT 11:33 EST: There was a robbery at a near by 7-11 (Dark Skin White Male 5'11' 200lbs, black top). Could be related?
EDIT 11:40 EST: Woman reported on the ground screaming/crying. Male that was with her just walked away. [Unrelated, thanks /u/dontgotmilk]
EDIT 11:42 EST: Image from the scene. Warning blood.
EDIT 11:44 EST: Possible witness.
EDIT 11:47 EST: /u/philsmith24457 points out they mentioned a mini excavator [Unrelated]
EDIT 11:59 EST: Reportedly a group of Black males. 1 in a gray hoodie, in his early 20's, heavy set. 2 in black hoodies. Firearms present. [Unrelated].
EDIT 12:04 EST: from /u/TheFightingFarsi : NBC Connecticut reporting MIT Officer has died. (grain of salt till for now)
