Aberdeen (?) & Mt Aburn (?) 15 shots fired, new area

The officer who responded to that news sounded so tired. Like another area?!

 

[SCHUEY F1]

CNN sucks, they are so far behind.

 

[criesofthepast]

The fact that they may have had more bombs and guns makes me believe the marathon bombing was not their only target. MIT may have been another target and encountering the cop and the shootout forced them to flee and get into this mess we see now. The 7/11 thing I can't really explain. I can see blowing up MIT as making sense though.

 

[superdeluxe]

15 shots fired.

 

[ChosenPredator]

wow wtf is going on in boston right now

 

[everyday math]

15 or 16 shots fired now.

 

[malfcn]

How is it creepy?

I missed it earlier, but hearing cops being shot and killed on the scanner and the chaos of it all.

handgun magazine found in the car. looks like suspect has other guns.

wtf

The FBI

 

[Acorn]

Definite 15 shots fired call out.

 

[wenis]

If these aren't the marathon bombers, it would be the perfect time to leave.

Pretty much. Hopefully authorities are much smarter than this and are keeping an eye on all possible exits from the city still.

 

[RumblingRosco]

There is no way this guy can slip through a perimeter like this. There's gotta be hundreds and hundreds of officers on scene.

There's a 2nd option for him in this case. Who expects him to actually come out alive? He'll go down in a fire fight or he'll kill himself.

 

[sneakypete]

lmfao was that curly from the stooges on the scanner?

 

[Byakuya769]

The channel 7 reporters' reluctance to jump to conclusions is refreshing.

Blitzer would have reported the suspects jail sentence by now.

Hard to imagine someone who organised something like the Boston marathon attack would stoop to a 7/11 robbery inside the next week though.

You get stupid when the walls start closing in (their pics being widely available).

 

[J-Rzez]

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.

No, because Assault Rifles are illegal unless they're Class III licensed, and thus shows how much black market stuff is floating around.

This is absolutely insane. I don't know how I'd react to a situation like this. I just can't believe the officers there don't have rifles in their cars, or that they don't have their own patrol rifle. Especially after all this going down.

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

I'm sure they are, it's just that cousin has cerebral palsy and I'm sure all this craziness would not be helpful for her. I'm more worried about my uncle who is a police captain with BPD.

 

[BigDug13]

How is it creepy?

Because everything is creepy now in America. It's the new buzzword for everything that seems even slightly out of the ordinary in everyday life.

 

[Divvy]

Jesus, how many guns does this guy have

 

[shadyspace]

Reddit:

dude what kind of unlimited ammo cheat is this dude using

 

[Joel Was Right]

Completely, in most states. It's only illegal to listen to a cell phone call or to listen to a police scanner while committing a crime.

lol

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Now they're talking about shots fired near Shaws, but that's a good deal away from the area near school street they have cordoned off.

 

[sangreal]

Boston Globe is going to get roasted if they are wrong on this

 

[inm8num2]

Hopefully this ends soon.

 

[Shake Appeal]

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

Well so far they have not proven themselves to be competent in any particular respect.

 

[Treythalomew]

So handguns, long guns, grenades, and pipe bombs? These dudes were going to war.

 

[Nilaul]

He woulda been fucked if he was sitting there.

What are the walls made of?

 

[smokeymicpot]

This guy on MSNBC looks a little drunk.

 

[Bsigg12]

Is it over?

Not even close. They are searching for the 2nd suspect

What are the walls made of?

Probably just wood and drywall since it's a residential house.

It's on the FBI site. They're legit.

even if so, ill still love em more than the NY Post

 

[CREMSteve]

More shots fired on Auburn.

 

[Kusagari]

Perhaps North Korean?

I think one of them is Dorner.

Maybe he did escape on that horse.

 

[Fantastical]

Channel 7 not reading news until they confirm it! Holy shit!

 

[Nabs]

CNN could learn a thing or two from 7News

 

[wenis]

Channel 7 keeping journalistic integrity intact.


Won't report news without confirming it first. Good for them.

 

[Jangocube]

not buying it. We saw thepicture of the guy earlier. Didn't look like either of them.

The guy on the ground? They released him. And the other guy on the pushed over the trunk of the car hasn't been identified yet as the suspect in custody. Or has he? I haven't heard it

 

[Fusebox]

You get stupid when the walls start closing in (their pics being widely available).

Good point. Maybe it was a quick cash grab before getting out of town.

 

[friskykillface]

There is no way this guy can slip through a perimeter like this. There's gotta be hundreds and hundreds of officers on scene.

it is still night and dark outside, plus that area has lots of corners and spots to slip away, so who knows.

 

[Zozz]

this is just so insane, is the one suspect still considered the marathon bomber?

Uhhh, according to the blurb they are equating the suspects of tonight's craziness to the marathon bombers.

 

[benjipwns]

Channel 7 refusing to give some info until they can confirm it. smh. Do you guys want to make it on cable or not?!?

 

[BlazingDarkness]

How the fuck is this guy still running around out there?!

All the news stations.

Well it is late, he could be really tired.

As of right now, only the Boston Globe is saying that

 

[Eight Diagram Bat Fighter]

Man this lady newscaster loves to interrupt and finish her co-anchor's sentences.

This guy on MSNBC looks a little drunk.

Basically every major news site looks a little drunk.

Smart way to do it. Look at CNN they been jumping the gun.

It's possible they tried to rob the 7-11 (in order to get out of town with some cash) and the officer responded, they killed him, and all went crazy.

Anyone know if the 7-11 was on campus?
