yeah. one is dead. the other one surrounded.

Is he surrounded? Sounds like he may be on the run also.

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

Reddit now claiming suspect 2 is dead? Did I miss something on the scanner?

Reddit has jumped the shark on that one.

 

[wenis]

Multiple gunshot wounds and explosion damage. Sounds like the guy was as close to dead as can be when he came in.

Fuck it... One more to make sure.

 

[tajd]

man i gotta go any have shower hopefully hes caught

where the fcuk is he

 

[benjipwns]

I posted this on an earlier page but since some more people have asked I'll just paste it one more time, apologies to everyone else:

THESE ARE THE MARATHON BOMBING SUSPECTS

Scanner: http://audio2.radioreference.com/446184308
http://tunein.com/radio/Boston-Police-Fire-and-EMS-Scanner-s146109/

Local News (who have dominated all night):
http://www1.whdh.com/video/7newslive
http://livewire.wcvb.com/Event/117th_Running_of_Boston_Marathon

Better summary:

yes, they killed cops, got into firefights in neighborhoods, threw bombs from windows, stole police cars, one of them died from being shot to death by the cops and a bomb vest, and the other is hiding and there's supposedly bombs planted all over the place

If you were watching CNN:

There was a guy on the ground who was stripped by police. THIS IS THE NAKED GUY. He was released and was just a bystander.

Suspect #1 (black hat) died, I assume due to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqo1Ad6spkY Confirmed by police commissioner and other local news police sources.

Suspect #2 (white hat) is on the loose. May be in a building, may not be, unconfirmed.

Someone make an image from memento: CNN: DON'T BELIEVE THEIR LIES

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:

-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

MIT classes cancelled. MIT says their cop sacrificed to save the campus.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Okay but how is Sunil's uncle doing

He's a ghost in a red circle.

 

[jbug617]

Sub should be up in 30 minutes

 

[UFRA]

most likely nothing

have to question the sanity of, on this night, with these tensions, biking through Boston with a heavy backpack.

After multiple trucks were shot up in the Dorner manhunt, odds some random dude biking to school this morning with a backpack on ends up getting shot?

No kidding. Whoever the dude is he clearly either has no idea what's going on, or is totally stupid.

doing god's work son.

Mika on MSNBC says Suspect 2 ran over Suspect 1.

 

[lenovox1]

CBS says the Marathon may not be linked.

We have the images. We can see with our eyes that they are linked.

 

[Cartman86]

That Reddit thread is only as good as the news sources they themselves are RE-"reporting". It is just posting what many different people on twitter, tv etc. are saying. Some is valid, others are not. Not a very good source if you aren't being good about following trustful and factual sources.

 

[fabricated backlash]

"Unable to count" could just mean the body was so fucked up it wasn't possible to immediately count, not that it's some obscene number. Especially when there's blast injuries.

Pretty much, the docs weren't interested in fuelling hyperbolic statements. They just didn't count as the torso was so badly wounded that it was useless anyway.

 

[PopeReal]

they have a perimeter set up, but he is by no means surrounded... they will be going house to house at daylight to figure out where he is

 

[Kellen]

I'm going to sleep now.

I hope that when I wake up this guy is caught.

Please stay safe everyone.

6inch or 12inch

 

[I'm new be nice]

I'm kind of surprised they haven't found him yet. I wonder if he took off in a car...

 

[User 100115]

Okay, I am heading to bed because I had some hysterical laughter reading this. Because it sounds like you are totally trolling, but nope, this is really what is going on.

 

[Etrian Oddity]

"Unable to count" could just mean the body was so fucked up it wasn't possible to immediately count, not that it's some obscene number. Especially when there's blast injuries.

Yea I was gonna say, if he detonated a bomb strapped to his torso he was probably hanging by bits and pieces.... :\

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Mika on MSNBC says Suspect 2 ran over Suspect 1.

the fuck

 

[sangreal]

Mika on MSNBC says Suspect 2 ran over Suspect 1.

I don't know if that is right... I'm going off memory here and it has been like 8 hours, but there was an event where a cop almost got run over by the suspect. You can probably find out what happened in that reddit update. Hospital presser didn't mention that kind of trauma either

 

[EmCeeGramr]

also a naked man, his uncle, and a missing college student all turned into ghosts and rode away on horses to escape from LEOs

 

[Anton668]

6inch or 12inch

12inch double meat every damn time!!!

 

[FStop7]

More idiots with backpacks. Maybe leave them home for a week?!

The greater Boston area has like a zillion universities

 

[enzo_gt]

Mika on MSNBC says Suspect 2 ran over Suspect 1.

This goes with the report that Suspect 2 backed into police right after Suspect 1 went down near them.


...this is all quite confusing.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

6inch or 12inch

pfft we all know there are no 12 inch footlongs.

 

[RedAssedApe]

so he got run over, shot up, and a bomb attached to him exploded? deserved more

 

[FalconSabre]

I'm kind of surprised they haven't found him yet. I wonder if he took off in a car...

He's likely holed up in a house or something in that perimeter. They are waiting until sunrise to actually move in on him since they don't want more danger by doing so in the dark.

 

[squicken]

I know it is all crazy, but suspect 2 isn't Sunil? His name was all over and people were harassing his family online. That would suck

 

[J-Rzez]

"Unable to count" could just mean the body was so fucked up it wasn't possible to immediately count, not that it's some obscene number. Especially when there's blast injuries.

Could. But we heard the one exchange, and if that's when the guy bit it, it's not hard to fathom he got lit the fuck up.

 

[Persona7]

I'm kind of surprised they haven't found him yet. I wonder if he took off in a car...

I doubt it with the perimeter up. If he tried he would be unlikely to evade a barrage of bullets.

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

WBZ-4 has a good summary going on now.

Internet

Police have the area on lock down. There's really no where he can go at this point.

 

[cdkee]

Nobody knows.

That's the Internet for you

 

[Metaphoreus]

Reddit now claiming suspect 2 is dead? Did I miss something on the scanner?

It looks like that may have been based on a misunderstanding. The author seems to be referring to the hospital press conference, saying that his television displayed a message about the "second suspect." So, not dead.

 

[Dominican Power]

Overzealous internet vigilantes need to chill the fuck out.

 

[BLACKLAC]

Code 17?

 

[TCRS]

fucking hell that shootout video...

1 redditor claimed his name was on the scanner. Nobody hear heard it afaik. A lot of people blindly picked it up from there

 

[Professor Beef]

also a naked man, his uncle, and a missing college student all turned into ghosts and rode away on horses to escape from LEOs

But what about Dorner's aunt?

 

[Shake Appeal]

To be fair, almost every news outlet has been spouting equally unreliable bullshit for hours now.

This is how news will be done from now on. It was bad enough in the time of Columbine and all the misreporting and half-truths that persist about that even today, but now everything is completely muddled, and by the time it's properly pieced together and explained after the fact, we'll have moved onto the next clusterfuck of speculation and 'twitter journalism'.

 

[Game-Biz]

I know it is all crazy, but suspect 2 isn't Sunil? His name was all over and people were harassing his family online. That would suck

We don't know yet. Nothing is confirmed with Sunil.

[Blablurn]

fucking hell that shootout video...

it's just crazy

 

[djplaeskool]

Holy shit.
Just woke up, and all this shit is going down.
Reading through these summaries, all this is 100% genuine crazy.
