[Half and half]

Controlled explosions? Starting to believe.

 

[oneils]

Shit, the military is there. I'm sure the SWAT teams are going to be there if they aren't already.

That is SWAT. They showed up dressed like that.

 

[Nilaul]

National Guard is there

Nation guard and FBI? Did they find something they did not like?

Mere speculation, no panic needed.

 

[MIMIC]

OK, who is this guy they are naming?

EDIT: name removed

No live video on there sadly, at least not for me

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Just saw a Billerica police car come into frame. That makes not much sense, Billerica is like 35-40 minutes away from Watertown.

 

[tajd]

this is the craziest thing ever just give up man your there gonna get you one way or another (no pun intened)

 

[smokeymicpot]

Is a long gun a assault rifle? Sorry for the odd question just have no idea.

 

[sangreal]

The other less noticed thing I noticed in that photograph is that the girl to the right on the young victim is also in this photo:



She's in the Tufts Lacrosse shirt. Note the socks. Crazy that she's in both.

Wow, nice catch. I wonder if she booked it after the first explosion

 

[Cousteau]

Suspects confirmed to have long guns aka BBG's..

Not sure why people think you can do everything with tablets now. Audio stream, video coverage from channel 7, Facebook link to shots fired audio, all unusable on my iPad....

This. Anyone else having luck with phone/tablet?

My TuneIn app isn't working for the scanner feed either. My wife just made me come to bed

 

[shadyspace]

People looking to just jack a 7-11 don't use long rifles

 

[Reven]

That is SWAT. They showed up dressed like that.

No that is national guard. Yankee division.

 

[benjipwns]

channel 7 just showed controlled explosion footage from earlier

 

[Joel Was Right]

I'm getting the impression there are several men being chased here

 

[BlazingDarkness]

oh god this noise

 

[TestOfTide]

How far from newton is MIT, I have a lot of family there.

Watertown is right next to newton.....

 

[Archer]

Link to the scanner again? Thanks guys.

 

[Scott32020]

With the advanced weaponry of the subjects, wouldn't it be advisable to engage them with National Guard units versus SWAT?

 

[newjeruse]

Seth Mnookin? I bought a book he wrote about the Red Sox like 8 years ago.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

The police scanner is so hard to understand.

Seems like police radio technology should be much audibly clearer in this day and age.

 

[oneils]

No that is national guard. Yankee division.

Damn, you know that from the patch? Good eye.

 

[Bsigg12]

Is a long gun a assault rifle? Sorry for the odd question just have no idea.

It must be because they said SWAT was armed with long guns so I assume it's a rifle of some sort.

 

[MThanded]

Who the hell robs a 7-11 with semi autos? The hell?

 

[Stumpokapow]

Is a long gun a assault rifle? Sorry for the odd question just have no idea.

a long gun simply means a gun with a lengthy barrel; a rifle or shotgun of any kind qualifies.

Controlled explosions? Starting to believe.

Bomb squad blew something up intentionally. They blow shit up all the time, could be an explosive device, could be an LED ATHF sign.

 

[quaere]

Is a long gun a assault rifle? Sorry for the odd question just have no idea.

The question was asked on the scanner as do they have a long gun or a handgun. So I take long gun to mean anything other than a handgun.

 

[Colasante]

New photos of the marathon bombers.

For what it's worth, I don't think the person being arrested earlier is either of them.

They really wanted those smokes.

a long gun simply means a gun with a lengthy barrel; a rifle or shotgun of any kind qualifies.

Thanks dude.

Do 7/11's sell gas in the states? Maybe they went to pay for gas and got spooked by the cashier noticing them?

 

[newjeruse]

Just saw a Billerica police car come into frame. That makes not much sense, Billerica is like 35-40 minutes away from Watertown.

I'm sure cops from all of New England are coming as quickly as possible.

I dont believe that is one of them from the pics

New photos of the marathon bombers.

For what it's worth, I don't think the person being arrested earlier is either of them.

That arrest pic looks like neither of these guys.

 

[Nilaul]

Did i just hear something about a gun Made in Poland?
