God willing, this is accurate.

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

Exactly. Though swat is likely in camo too.

The Globe also reported there was a suspect in custody yesterday afternoon, so I'm skeptical until further notice.

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

uh bombers that need money desperately to get away/stay hidden would be A COMPLETE GUESS I would make.

really hope they actually do have one in custody, very curious to hear the justification for this.

 

[cheststrongwell]

New photos of the marathon bombers.

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

Defiantly not the missing student.

Quoting in case this was missed.

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

6-8 miles. Much closer to Watertown than MIT. (i'm sure your family is fine, though)

This has escalated quite quickly. At about 10:00 I was casually listening to officers talk about ordering food on the scanner. Now it's 2:20 am and there are gun shots, deaths and explosions. All 10 min from my house. Crazy night. Heart pounding.

 

[Divvy]

HOLY SHIT

Bullet hole through our wall and the chair on the second floor, slug beside #mitshooting #mit #boston

 

[alr1ght]

holee fuck

 

[DrSlek]

National Guard is there

...is his vision augmented?

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

Everyone seems to have gravitated to Channel 7, but Boston Channel 4 (CBS) is pretty good as well.

 

[metalmania4evr]

Thank you.

 

[MIMIC]

Oh man, I shouldn't have refreshed the window with the scanner.

It won't work for me now >_<

Those definately look indian or pakistanis speaking as an ex pakistani

 

[friskykillface]

i cant sleep now, this is so crazy and scary :/


imagine what people are gonna think when they wake up, especially my friends near watertown

That seems like a dumb thing to do after they are looking for you.

 

[Etrian Oddity]

I've been away the whole time this has gone down. Can someone provide a short-and-sweet synopsis of what's gone down from start to now????

Wow.

 

[DarkFlow]

Modern technology sure makes following this kinda stuff insane. So much disinformation flowing in from everywhere. Hard to really trust anything.

 

[Loxley]

HOLY SHIT

Thank Christ no one was sitting there, fuck me.

 

[J-Rzez]

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

It's a rifle that has a 14" or longer barrel, suited for longer shots. Hunting rifles, Semi-auto rifles, etc.

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

No. SWAT is most like better trained and suited for this.

 

[lenovox1]

FOX News reporting that it was a car jacking at a gas station in Watertown [that initiated this incident] via the FBI.

 

[BobLoblaw]

Not to turn this into a gun debate, but if they are using assault rifles that they got without background checks, that shit would be ether for anyone that voted against the senate bill a couple days ago.

 

[many places]

9 SWAT/search teams being deployed

9?! Damn!

and where are his arms?

Did you also see the retweet from a hockey reporter?

I was going to surmise maybe North African.

 

[KalBalboa]

I want to than you guys for posting these updates.

ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF CRAZY PEOPLE IS THAT THEY MIX APPARENTLY INTELLIGENT BEHAVIOR WITH APPARENTLY STUPID BEHAVIOR

They're the only ones reporting this. I suggest they follow Channel 7's lead.

Was about to say the same. Making sure they are right first. They said on msnbc two other gas stations were robbed.

There we go.

He didn't ask for that.

*edit* I'm not original.

 

[RiZ III]

Whoever these guys are are fucking insane. The fact that they never put out a manifesto or anything makes it seem like they're just trying to cause chaos.

 

[Godslay]

Always worry that this kind of stuff is a diversion. Probably watch too many movies.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Fuuuu.

I have a meeting tomorrow at 9:30am

 

[Bsigg12]

Jesus, turn your iPhones sideways when you record, people!

I highly doubt in the heat of the moment you're thinking "SHIT I need to get a landscape record going"

 

[Heysoos]

15 shots fired per scanner

 

[Heel]

15 shots fired

 

[Alucrid]

Jesus, turn your iPhones sideways when you record, people!

I'll complain about subway fights, but not when there's gunshots all around them. Plus, it's not like the video is useful, just the audio.

Is this the MIT incident where the officer was killed? I don't know the area well so have no idea.
