For those waking up here is the summary of what happened in Boston overnight. May have been spotted in a 7-11 whilst a robbery in the store was active. They then met and killed an MIT police officer, hijacked a car, stole a police vehicle, threw explosives out of window during chase, got into firefights in neighborhood, one of them died from being shot to death by the cops and a bomb vest going off(suspect 1), and the other is hiding and there's supposedly bombs planted all over the place(suspect 2) .

Identity of remaining suspect - Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, from Cambridge.

On April 18, a shooting occurred on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, near Building 32 (Stata Center) at 10:48 p.m. EDT (02:48 UTC, April 19). Multiple shots were fired. It was subsequently reported that an MIT police officer received multiple gunshot wounds. The officer was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital in nearby downtown Boston, where he was pronounced dead. Police in Watertown reported that they exchanged gunfire with two suspects following the shooting, with explosions and automatic weapon fire heard. Later in the night, The Boston Globe would report that the shooting suspects were the same men being sought in the Marathon bombings.

During the morning of April 19, after a car chase, one suspect (referred to as "suspect number one" or "the black-hat suspect") was taken by police to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he died of injuries. The FBI released additional photos of the two suspects during the Watertown incident. Several sources report that a suspect was surrounded by police and ordered to strip completely naked before being arrested and taken into custody. The second suspect, sometimes referred to as the "white-hat suspect", is "still at large", according to law enforcement officials.

Edit 2:

Per police scanner, all units being told to retreat, minimize radio traffic, suspects have explosives, an officer is being taken to an ambulance. Listen to feed here:

Suspects may be injured
 
Wait... these are definitely the bombers? I thought this was related to the MIT armed robbery? How are they are related?

EDIT: Nope. Full of shit. We don't know if its the bombers.
 
News reporter at that video link had to cut himself off so he could run as police near him started drawing guns and taking cover.
