There was a guy on CNN saying that it could be possible that suspect number 2 could have hi jacked again and left the area.

And now the search area has been expanded

This may have already been posted, but very sad.

Picture of white-hat suspect dropping his bag. You can see victim Martin Richards along with his mother and sister (who were left seriously injured) standing just in front of the suspect.

I very very much doubt the second guy will let himself be taken alive

Sometimes I punish myself by watching Fox News.

Incredible stuff.

Lot's of focus on what the nationality of the suspects are.

Also on the street reporter/presenter "Bill", actually offers his own opinion about them being terrible people that kill children, and how it would be ironic if one was killed by one of their own pressure cooker bombs.

There was a segment there (about 1 minute summary) where it seemed like the reporter had been instructed to say the words 'foreign trained' and 'overseas' as many times as she could. It's all speculation at this point surely? So much for reporting on facts, but this is Fox so I shouldn't expect anything else but half truths, ill formed conclusions and a hefty dose of their own opinion.

EDIT: LOL, now they are rumouring "overseas military training" and adding the word "significant" at the end of the sentence... just cause. It's like they have to put these key words into their speculation to make it sound more legit.

They are calling up less lethal shotguns and mentioning rifle in place, shots now.

Lot of gun shots anyway.

Seachmall · 19-04-2013 11:01AM

Shots fired on the police scanner, suspect seems to have been spotted.

He appears to be trying to hijack cars.

Is that not just a loop? Is that happening now? But first guy is already dead..

Alpha Dog 1 · 19-04-2013 11:02AM

Wow, the coverage of the shootout is unreal, semi automatic weapons, hand grenades etc.

II suppose call of duty, modern warfare is to blame.

What link are you listening to? I must be listening to the wrong one.

Duggy747 · 19-04-2013 11:05AM

Swat and their robots are out and about.

It was said that they were waiting for sunrise before checking out the streets.

That picture made my blood boil.

I would love if he was captured alive and tortured to death over a 7 day period.

Make no mistake - if the suspects turn out to be right-wingers or just random nuts from America, Fox News will be gutted!! Just think of the amount of tv hours they will lose when they sweep under the carpet it's just another Sandy Hook type incident and not overseas terrorists!

Yeah, not even a shadow of doubt that these guys are "terrorists" in their reporting. Sounds to me like it's another situation like the Batman shootings or the Columbine shootings... excepts these two used homemade bombs.

He shows where it came in through the wall, went through his chair (where his head would have been) and where the slug landed on the couch behind it.

Lucky bastard.

Somebody in custody now according to the scanner

Breaking news that the suspects shot dead the MIT officer in his car, when he was checking out report of a 7/11 shop robbery. They hijacked a Merc SUV, then let it's driver go. Hours later the Watertown Police came across them, with the grenade and shooting incidents resulting in one dead suspect. They are still looking for the 2nd suspect in the Watertown area, have shut down public transport and have in effect put the area into curfew, asking all people stay at home/go home. The theory is this'll (possibly) reduce street movement to Police and the suspect. All public venues, cafes etc asked to close by the State Under secretary for Homeland Security.
