Crivens!!! Boston Cops Corner Bomber Suspect?

Boy howdy, I take one evening off from the TV news and look what happens!

12:20 - reports the bomber is posting on social media that he will kill everyone because his brother has been killed. Swarms of armored vehicles moving into target area in Watertown. News conference still delayed.

11:05am latest - reports that the suspect, in the middle of a car chase and massive manhunt, found time (11:18pm) last night to stop at the local ATM and get some cash. Go figure.
Bombs thrown from fleeing vehicle last night are still in the road; cops spending all manpower to pursue victim.

10:50am background on the perp - http://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/what-we-know-about-boston-marathon-bomb-suspect-dzhokhar-tsa?sub=2157019_1090381

about 10:45 there was a shot fired/explosion and the police swarmed from one area to another. TV reporting that the perp’s missing Honda CRV has been located ... it looks like this could be a vehicle being guarded seen on TV. Armored vehicles everywhere. Police press conference to be held shortly.

TV ticker ... “bullet ridden Mercedes SUV taken from Waterton home”, “police say ‘military grade’ explosives thrown from car”, “coroner: dead suspect has ‘too many bullet holes to count’ ”

DEVELOPING: The surviving Boston bomb suspect hails from Chechnya or Turkey and has lived in the United States for several years.

Federal law enforcement sources told Fox News that authorities are investigating whether Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass., and his brother may have had military training overseas.

A man with the same name won a $2,500 scholarship in 2011 from the city of Cambridge, according to online records.

The two men believed to be the suspects from Monday’s terror attack apparently surfaced just hours after the FBI released their images late Thursday afternoon, shooting the police officer, robbing a convenience store, carjacking a man who later escaped and engaging in a wild shootout with Boston police, in which they hurled explosives from their stolen car.

“We believe this man to be a terrorist,” said Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis. “We believe this to be a man who’s come here to kill people.”

The bombings on Monday killed three people and injured more than 180 others.

Guess I’d better turn the news on ASAP. Yowzers!

TV says the dead bomber was previously wounded with shrapnel. Like he’d been caught in his own explosion, or had tried to be a suicide bomber??

(CNN)—Police sealed off densely populated portions the Boston metro area early Friday after a violent night chasing the Boston Marathon terror suspects left one of the men and a police officer dead.

Police ordered businesses in the suburb of Watertown and nearby communities to stay closed and told residents to stay inside and answer the door for no one but authorities. The subway and Amtrak train systems have been shut down. Every Boston area school is closed.

“It’s jarring,” said CNN Belief blog writer Danielle Tumminio, who lives in Watertown.

Boston’s public transit authority sent city buses to Watertown to evacuate residents while bomb experts comb the surroundings for possible explosives.

Police shot one of the men dead after a wild car chase through Watertown in which authorities say they hurled explosives at pursuing officers.
...
Federal, state and local law officers are swarming through the Boston suburb of Watertown, going door-to-door to track him down, said transit police spokesman Paul MacMillan.

Police officers in full body armor, carrying automatic weapons, flooded the area.

“This situation is grave.” Massachusetts Police Col. Timothy Alben said. “This is a very serious situation that we are dealing with.”

The violence began late Thursday in Cambridge, across the Charles River from Boston, with the fatal shooting of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer while he sat in his car late Thursday, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office said in statement. Police believe the bombing suspects were responsible for the shooting.

The same two suspects according to authorities, then hijacked a car at gunpoint in Cambridge. They released the driver a half-hour later at a gas station.

As police picked up the chase, the car’s occupants threw explosives out the windows and shot at officers, according to the district attorney’s office.

Former [ Chechnian ?] ambassador on the TV - “This is radical Islam in action. These people are killers and terrorism is their way of life.”

(CNSNews.com) - “We believe this to be a terrorist. We believe this to be a man who’s come here to kill people. We need to get him in custody.” Those are the words of a police official in Watertown, Mass., at an early-morning news conference, around 4:20 a.m., on Friday.

A massive influx of police shut down Watertown, Mass., a Boston suburb, overnight, as officers raced to catch the second of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings. The first was shot and killed by police, but also had wounds consistent with an explosion, doctors said at a news conference.

People living within a 20-block perimeter of Watertown were warned to stay inside and open their doors only to clearly identified police officers.

Witnesses reported a wild night of gunfire and explosions in and around Watertown as helicopters beamed searchlights overhead. Hundreds, if not thousands, of police officers were said to be going door to door.

The events in Watertown followed the shooting death of a campus police officer at M.I.T., the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Thursday night. A second police officer, a transit cop, was “badly injured,” police said. Details were not available as of 4:44 a.m.
...
Mass transit in the Boston area—all buses and trains—are shut down “as a safety measure,” as police search for the second Boston Marathon bomber. They have directed people living in the Boston area to stay indoors. Businesses should stay closed, they said.

“To the residents of Watertown, Newton, Waltham, Belmont, Cambridge and the Allston-Brighton neighborhoods of Boston, we are asking you to stay home, stay indoors. We are asking businesses not to open; we are asking people not to congregate outside. We are asking people not to go to mass transit. And we are hopeful that as the day proceeds, we can provide further guidance that will be able to open portions of the (transit) system, and be able to ease these restrictions,” a police official said.

No vehicle traffic will be allowed into Watertown, the focus of the search, and the place where one suspect (black hat) was shot and killed early this morning.

It looks like the suspects had not fled more than half a mile from where the bombs went off the other day. Suspects are brothers? TV talking heads saying FBI feel there is a sleeper network in place and they will ferret it out.

The suspects — introduced to the world via photos and video footage Thursday night — were identified as brothers, law enforcement officials said Friday morning. The one still at large was identified by law enforcement authorities as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge. The one who was killed was identified as Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

Dzokhar. Joe-Car. Joker? Oy vey.

One of these guys is/was a wrestler, the other older one a boxer of near-Olympic caliber. The one’s Facebook page seems to be a hate filled rant against Russia, for Islam? “We really haven’t talked about the radical Islam that’s flourished in Chechnya.” TV’s talking heads are just dumbfounded; how can young men like this come here, get so deeply ingrained in our society and culture, and still carry so much hatred inside that they’d do such a thing.  Gee, mo, I wonder. Not.

Breaking 8:35am - police and FBI rushing a building in Watertown. Geez, this is fluid. Shots fired, or small explosions? Turn on the TV!

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
