This was the DA statement and press conference earlier, may be off since I just jotted it down, but is generally what I heard across those sources:

Quote:
-something at MIT (Building 32? led to shooting of MIT cop (died))
-carjacking in cambridge, kept hostage for 30 minutes
-robbery attempt at 7-11
-another carjacking at some point (?)
-car chase (?), grenades thrown out, explosives maybe of some sort
-shootout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqo1Ad6spkY
-suspect #1 (black cap) dead
-suspect #2 (white cap) still on the loose


Also note that the first suspect was run over as #2 tried to escape. According to news sources now.

Stray bullets from earlier firefight:

The bullet actually went through his chair.

BTW if they can catch him alive...is this a Boston or a Federal case? I guess anything deemed as terrorism is Federal? Or not necessarily?

Everything We Know About Tamerlan Tsarnaev, Dead Bombing Suspect
Authorities are now confirming the two suspects sought in Monday's Boston Marathon bombing are two Russian-born Chechen brothers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev. Tamerlan, the older brother, is dead. Here's what we know about him.

It's not much, and most of it's derived from a photo gallery. We know Tamerlan Tsarnaev was 26 and a competitive boxer for a club named Team Lowell, who won the Rocky Marciano Trophy for being New England Golden Gloves heavyweight champion in 2010. He did this while taking time off from school at Bunker Hill Community College, where he studied in hopes of being an engineer. He's been boxing in the U.S. since at least 2004, and his uncle told WBZ in Boston that he arrived in the United States in 2000 under refugee status.

The Lowell Sun wrote this about his bout at the Golden Gloves nationals in 2009: In Team New England's last bout of the night, Tamerlan Tsarnaev dropped a controversial decision to Lamar Fenner of Chicago in the 201-pound devision. After flooring Fenner with a huge punch that required an eight count, it seemed that Tsarnaev was in control of the whole fight. Yet somehow the judges saw it differently and awarded Fenner the decision, a decision that drew boos from the crowd.

Team New England finished the first day of action with two wins and two losses.
We know he had a YouTube profile, where he created a playlist dedicated to terrorism. The photo gallery features his girlfriend at the time, and the caption reads:

Tamerlan says his girlfriend is half Portuguese, half Italian girlfriend and converted to Islam: "She's beautiful, man!"

Tamerlan demonstrates a way of walking to strengthen the ankle muscles at the Wai Kru Mixed Martial Arts center. A native of Chechnya, Tamerlan says: "In Russia, we used to train like this. Here nobody does it, I don't know why!"

Tamerlan says he doesn't drink or smoke anymore: "God said no alcohol." A muslim, he says: "There are no values anymore," and worries that "people can't control themselves." Tamerlan says he doesn't usually take his shirt off so girls don't get bad ideas: "I'm very religious." Tamerlan says he loves the movie "Borat," even though some of the jokes are a bit too much.

If he wins enough fights there, Tamerlan says he could be selected for the US Olympic team and be naturalized American. Unless his native Chechnya becomes independent, Tamerlan says he would rather compete for the United States than for Russia.

His girlfriend is pretty, they look like a good couple. Everything seems normal.

Just like everyone else, I wonder WHY???

 

[GavinGT]

Golden Glove winner. Not Golden Globe. These typos are killing CNN.

LOL are you kidding me?

 

[D4Danger]

They're Chechnyan, not Russian.

And not even that, it's some town NEAR Chechnya.

have fun explaining that over and over. East of Germany = Russian

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

Did they just say "got the bomber?"

Edit: Probably not. False alarm

 

[vatstep]

Golden Glove winner. Not Golden Globe. These typos are killing CNN.

LOL

 

[picklecannon]

All of boston is on lockdown and some shady dude with a hoodie just had to take some pictures to email them to his brother. Cmon dude!

 

[Various Artists]

BTW if they can catch him alive...is this a Boston or a Federal case? I guess anything deemed as terrorism is Federal? Or not necessarily?

Almost assuredly a federal case.

 

[inky]

Live, breaking news, FOX is great at. It's when they have time to fill...

Yes, apparently when they get stuff raw they don't turn into complete morons. It's only when they get the time to spin it when they do. Man this is so tense, but I have to leave.

Here's hoping for no more deaths.

 

[Smash88]

I really hope one day we find out why, that's all.

 

[GK86]

Man, I went to bed shortly after police were pushing back the crowds last night, missed a lot of stuff.

Stay safe, Boston! <3

 

[Kinitari]

Boyfriend ended up going to work, seem like none of his coworkers are staying home/havent even heard of last nights events. It's about about 20 minutes from waterfront, so maybe I'm overreacting. Also worried for him because he's Russian with a temporary greencard. :/

Yikes. Just tell him to be extra cautious today, and to call you if anything happens to him where he might need some guidance.

 

[SlowRevolution]

Haha, seriously! I don't get all the hate for reddit.

Well they pretended to be detectives and were blaming the wrong people, just to give one reason

 

[CrankyJay]

Take with grain of salt, the car pulled over at Niagara Falls supposedly has Massachusetts plates.

 

[g23]

What kind of guns were the brothers using?

 

[benjipwns]

BTW if they can catch him alive...is this a Boston or a Federal case? I guess anything deemed as terrorism is Federal? Or not necessarily?

I'd have to assume. This will be federal. Especially if they're foreigners in anyway.

Kind of funny that no one uses the radio anymore, so we need someone to stream the radio to the internet just to listen in.

 

[opticalmace]

I've been sitting here refreshing the thread and listening to the scanner for an hour now.

This is intense.

 

[Godslay]

Yeah, our "make up complete bullshit and sell it to everyone on the internet" game is not on their level.

You are going to get some of that as a byproduct of being easy to post. They are fast though with news like this, and there are interesting subreddits. I enjoy the site, different animal than gaf though.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

have fun explaining that over and over. East of Germany = Russian

Yeah this next decade of Russian xenophobia from the US is gonna be fun.

 

[KadeYuy]

so tired.. but I've been listening this for over 6 hours and I'm not going to stop now... fuck classes tomorrow.

 

[Talyn]

E-mailing pictures?!

Seriously, WTF was that guy thinking? "Oh, there's a manhunt for a terrorist underway and the city is on lockdown, this is a good time for me to take a stroll photographing houses to email to my brother in Texas."

 

[DietRob]

GAF is the best news source in the world.

I've been saying this for years. Thanks for the recap overnight I still don't quite understand how they were identified through. I really hope they load up their tranq darts this other kid needs to be taken in alive.

 

[Corto]

People don't care. Russia is shorter and more easy to write.

Well they are part of Russian Federation.

Edited Republic to Federation to accuracy.

 

[strafer]

How long do you think this will go on for?

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

Some of us take the time to dig into links and try to find real sources.

When we aren't posting twitters before checking to see the real page...

Nah, that was posted here shortly after and no one vetted it before posting

 

[Takuya]

What happens if these guys end up not being the actual bombers?

Yes, I know they went on a rampage last night, but that could be a result of their already decided fate (by the public).

 

[IHaveIce]

Well they pretended to be detectives and were blaming the wrong people, just to give one reason

And? Same thing happened here at GAF

 

[Gruso]

Kind of funny that no one uses the radio anymore, so we need someone to stream the radio to the internet just to listen in.

My favourite part is the video of the radio.

 

[ruxtpin]

Me? I hope I didn't say that earlier in this thread haha. I live on the first floor of a dorm building at Northeastern. I'm not that close to where everything is going on currently..I was just trying to say that the lockdown in Boston isn't as locked down as people may think..just some positivity out of here I suppose. I'm sure Allston/Cambridge/Watertown, etc are totally locked down, though.

nah - haha - I'm just messing with ya. =)

 

[Various Artists]

How long do you think this will go on for?

Hours probably.

 

[East Lake]

Take with grain of salt, the car pulled over at Niagara Falls supposedly has Massachusetts plates.

Maybe he can bomb the tonawanda coke factory.

 

[cicero]

I don't want to offend you by simply ignoring your response. I've read it and I'll come back to it later. Forgive me, but I'm not in the mood to debate semantics at the moment but you've misunderstood my point. I'll elaborate and PM you to notify you of my reply

No problem.

 

[Treythalomew]

When I made the decision to stay up I thought for sure it would be over within an hour of daylight. I really fear they let him slip during those two hours before sunrise.

 

[fierrotlepou]

Seriously, I'm sick of that woman on FOX news.

"Were they quiet? They didn't have any friends?" blablabla

 

[JCizzle]

Fiance scheduled to fly out of Logan tonight at 7. Ugh.

 

[EagleBurnn]

What happens if these guys end up not being the actual bombers?

Yes, I know they went on a rampage last night, but that could be a result of their already decided fate (by the public).

Then they're fucking idiots. If they were wrongly accused, they should have went to the police IMMEDIATELY and explain.

They're guilty.

 

[Ferrio]

None

They supposedly admitted it to the person they kidnapped. They had explosives just like the ones in the marathon.

 

[CrankyJay]

Maybe he can bomb the tonawanda coke factory.

Oh snap...

 

[Godslay]

I've been saying this for years. Thanks for the recap overnight I still don't quite understand how they were identified through. I really hope they load up their tranq darts this other kid needs to be taken in alive.

Reddit broke this, I posted it. Gaf is good though usually.

 

[Ace Harding]

They're Chechnyan, not Russian.

And not even that, it's some town NEAR Chechnya.

Technically Cechnya is a Republic of Russia, though it has de facto independence. Also how is there a "town near Chechnya?" What country would that be?

 

[EdibleExplosives]

What happens if these guys end up not being the actual bombers?

Yes, I know they went on a rampage last night, but that could be a result of their already decided fate (by the public).

They threw bombs out the car, and had suicide vests on...

Man, why did he still do it

 

[Liha]

Well they are part of Russian Republic.

Russia is also a federation.
