Just got word from someone who I think is currently on campus that the MIT Police officer who was shot has not made it, according to the Mass State Police.

I feel so bad for that area right now.

Suspected bombs reported on the T. This is coming from extended family hearing things locally, no official reports yet.

One Boston Bombing Suspect Is Dead http://nyti.ms/103CC0R

One suspect succumbed to "blast" and "gunshot wounds," the other is still at large: http://ow.ly/kdxau

[skullguise]

Supposedly these are the bombing suspects.  One confirmed dead, the other still at large.

 

They look like young kids.....what the fuck is wrong with this world??!!

 

Hoping this ends soon, and without further injuries or deaths.....

Authorities say Boston Marathon bomb suspects are brothers, legal permanent residents of Chechen origin - @NBCNews

BREAKING: Surviving Boston bomb suspect identified as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass. (@AP)

[skullguise]

Yup, listening live to radio here.

 

They are saying "near" Chechnya....also heard reports they lived in Turkey before coming to US.

 

With one on the loose, several cities are basically in shutdown....public transportation (MBTA) shutdown......

 

There was another report of a taxi being stopped in Boston (Kenmore Square), reports of two, maybe three, people handcuffed at the curb, and then what was reported a sa "controlled explosion."  Not much further news on that, newscasters are clearly stating these are not the bombing suspects, but not much else.

 

This is surreal.....

[n_maher]

Yeah, it's crazy.  I was supposed to be headed into the city this morning for a meeting at noon time which has been cancelled.  I hope they catch the second suspect soon with no more bloodshed.

[shellylh]

This is pretty crazy.  I hope they catch the second brother alive so we can get more information.

Made a whole bunch of calls today. Everyone i know in the area seems to be safe and accounted for.

Wtf is wrong with people? Honestly. Don't they have anything better to do with their lives. If you so feel the need to blow yourself up do it in a forest or a desert where you aren't hurting others. Fucking dumbasses.

[aardvark baguette]

while i have no idea of it pertains to these two nobel laureates, i am of the opinion that religion is incompatible with anyone in their 20s.  its like bath salts during that decade.

Well, at least males. Young, dumb and full of...

Unholy carp, I'm not getting any work done today.

 

Also, if I ever get around to making my all-instrumental album, I'm calling it, "Watch your mics".

[Voltron]

Trapped in a boat in a backyard? Now there are explosions. What a strange trip this has been.

[Dusty Chalk]

And I don't even want to know what the battery clamp is for.

 

Also, does that channel really have 200K+ viewers nee listeners?

 

EDIT:  Can't do it, too nerve-wracking, going back to work.

Yeah, the stream had 60k viewers around 1pm. By the time I got home it was well over 200K

Police are trying to get this fuckface to surrender? Someone should just execute him on the spot justified or not.

[MexicanDragon]

Suspect in custody.
