“Ya gotta get outta here. There’s an active shooter here with an active explosive. Go!”
Maybe if you just killed a cop you’d do it. I want it to be the bombers, this will get worse the longer it goes on. Stata Center is about 1/2 mile from my office. You won’t be seeing me there until this thing is resolved.
There is video available here. The showed cellphone video of a gunfight, I heard at least 20 gunshots.
The one on the marathon bombings. There’s some discussion there of the current incident as well. http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=16209625
If the MIT newspaper is to be believed, the suspects had long guns and grenades. That doesn’t sound like common criminal activity.
I wonder how much weirder this is going to get…
Man I gotta go to the airport in 4 and a half hours. I gotta go to bed, yet I can’t look away!
I don’t think they should be believed yet, that’s all. The details won’t take long to come out.
From Mnookin Twitter feed.
I start a new job Monday but for now I’m still officially unemployed. I’ll probably be up all night.
For this idiot, can someone tell me what long guns are? Rifles?
Skolnik says Metro Editor at Boston Globe reports suspect in custody is connected to the bombing, but not confirmed.
Two different sources said “long guns”. I assume rifles or shotguns, but I’m as ignorant about it as you.
From https://twitter.com/MichaelSkolnik : “Metro Editor at the Boston Globe is reporting that the suspect in custody is connected to Marathon Bombing, however this is unconfirmed.”
They were just interviewing the guy that sent them that video over the phone. He said the people were just searching his backyard. He sounded a lot more calm than I would have in that situation.
Check out that Twitter feed. Lots of info from on the scene that’s not being reported on CNN.
One suspect shot, one on the run.
Now, both accounted for?
Boston Globe reporting that one Boston Marathon suspect is in custody. One still at large.
