Audio and minimal video of the firefight. It’s pretty intense.
CBS is reporting that he “may be” fleeing in a gray Honda CR-V, and they gave a license number. Presumably traffic is lighter than normal in that area, which might help.
God help the driver of that car if that’s not him. Remember what happened during the search for that rogue cop in LA.
Yeah, I’ll go ahead and nominate the younger brother for the title too.
That is correct. There is a “shelter in place” order, meaning that wherever people are, they should stay there. If you have a business, you should stay home and not open today. Public transportation has been shut down. Relevant quote from a news story I just saw:
I guess?
The entire MBTA is shut down. (Buses, Subways not sure if that includes the T) I also heard taxi service was halted, and a report that Amtrak from Boston - NY was halted
WBZ just reported a guy with a shaved head was taken into custody in Brighton ans his car searched…state and federal people on the scene…but it certainly looked like a calm area.
It is bizarre to see the reporters on the streets…there is NO traffic…NO people
And now they’re reporting the Red Sox game for tonight is on hold. Is there no end to the madness?
Dang it, this is what I get for going to bed early and not watching the news! Sounds like it was quite a night! Reminds me of a Die Hard movie!
I don’t. I hope they get all the information they can out of this guy.
On CNN they were pronouncing it more like “Zahar.” Not close.
Do we know who these Mike and Sunil guys were? Not to pick on anybody but since they were named as terrorists earlier in the thread (and everywhere else online) I thought it should be emphasized that they’re not and didn’t do anything wrong.
I didn’t expect Homeland to start up again until next year.
I mean, is it enforceable by law? Will you get arrested for going about your normal life? Is there a list of critical personnel who get an exemption?
It sounds like an exaggeration to me - it’s hard to imagine a US city literally getting ordered to be on lock down like a prison. Is it some sort of “state of emergency” law? What covers this stuff?
It is interesting that even after identifying these guys there is still so little truly known what their motivation is.
WBZ radio just said Connecticut police have the tags for a Massachusetts car they are looking for.
And then he rots in solitary confinement until he’s very, very old.
Y’all think that wishlist is real? It seems a bit too on the nose . . .
It includes the T, and yes taxis are shut down. The city really is locked down.
Did you see his nose?
I don’t know the law that covers this specifically, but since it came from the governor, I’m assuming that the police could at least order you off the streets if they saw you there.
In Ohio, inclement weather conditions sometimes mean that the county will declare a “snow emergency,” which means you are not supposed to travel on the roads. In the highest level of snow emergency, you can indeed be arrested if you violate this order. So it would not surprise me if you could legally declare something similar for a massive city-wide manhunt.
Usually the MA bad guys head north, up into NH, so I pleased to see that one might be heading south for a change.
This is overkill.
