Comments from the article seem to indicate that the shooting is related to a hold up at a 7-11.

Here's a new picture of suspect #2 that David Green posted on Facebook. The FBI already has this picture. I cropped this shot out of the smoke-filled scene --

I forgot to mention that we should be referring to any/all potential POI by initials. This is a standard rule at WS and in this case, we will be enforcing it because there is just too much potential to hurt innocent people.

Thanks,

I know I heard on cnn an hour ago that boston pd had been investigating bomb threats a month prior to the marathon and I was wondering if anyone can help me locate any other source for this info

Hanover, MA, to the South of Boston, I believe, toward Providence/Brown Univ:

Head to scanner thread!!!

Hey Yoda:seeya: Can you please link where we can listen to the scanner?

Cambridge police feed reports that multiple shots have been fired and explosives have been detonated in Watertown. #mitshooting #CambMA

 

[gooniequeen]

But I am wondering how it could possibly be related. Why would a campus security officer try to apprehend a suspected terrorist? Unless he happened upon something at the wrong place and at the wrong time. I think my imagination is going wild right now.

they are not security officers. most universities have dedicated "police officers" since they tend to be cities within a city.

 

[Jersey*Girl]

The local media coverage (boston.com for one) is saying that the officer walked in on a convenience store robbery or other disturbance. So probably not. http://www.boston.com/metrodesk/201...atcher-says/UAbtwLVGLwBE5VI7BUyQuL/story.html

Right, in the comment section of the main article, somebody says they live right near there & the 7-11 was robbed, that the incident has something to do with the MIT officer being shot.

The first comment is interesting about a possible car jacking.

I don't know what in the heck is going on in the scanner thread for the MIT shooting, but posters here might want to check it out. Perhaps relevant to this investigation, perhaps not. Scary as heck, though. Feeling the need to take a vacation from Boston for a bit....

Shoot-outs? Car-jackings? Explosions? Oh my....

It's serious, guys. Second officer down. Reports of hand grenades and explosions in Watertown (near Boston). Could these be our suspects on the run? This kind of stuff does NOT happen every day in Boston, I don't care what neighborhood you're referring to.

This is insane. I hope no more innocent people get hurt...

In response to jjeny
well difference is just not in lips but everything looks different..ear, nose , chin

take a look at better picture of suspect 2

http://i48.tinypic.com/4ij2hh.png

Yes, it was after I saw this photo that I could see the features more clearly--even the "3" on the side of the cap is distinguishable, now. Suspect's face is overall shorter, his mouth not as wide and full, his forehead lower (even with the longer hair), and his skin tone greyer.

 

[MsFacetious]

Shooting multiple cops over a 7-11 robbery is stupid, it's got to be more than that.

Boston scanner says that another officer is down on 94 Spruce St. The police are now setting up a perimeter. #mitshooting #CambMA

 

[Dr. Know?]

It sounds pretty intense from what I'm reading on twitter. 2 officers down and explosion in Watertown. The updates are flying. Also, stay inside Watertown folks I read.

Omg this is amazing!

Darn it. I fell asleep early tonight, logged on to see if any progress was made... I missed so much apparently!

So if this is true, then that hero that saved Jeff is an even bigger hero now. There has to be something spiritual there knowing Jeff survived bc of this man and now Jeff was able to provide FBI with a description of the suspect! How amazing is that? I mean, people earn wings for this stuff! Awesome!
