Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83,846]

Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

Mulugeta is an Ethiopean name I believe.

That seems to be the case. A Google search turned up a bunch of Mulugeta's and many of them were Ethiopian.

don't know about this guy though.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

Seemed like white hat guy was stripped down naked and arrested, but now I'm hearing from a friend in Boston that their local news is reporting naked guy as just some random (unlucky) dude... and white hat guy is still on the run.
Ive heard from twitter feeds from people on the scene and local Boston coverage black hat guy is dead and white hat guy is still on the run and white hate guy is: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/sunil-tripathi-video-missing-ivy-league-student-case-18845408

MSNBC reports that one person is in custody, but not confirmed

Yeah black hat guy is definitely the one that was apprehended and killed. White hat guy on the run. Naked guy just random bystander in the wrong place at the wrong time. Naked guy has a good reason to be pretty pissed off. Haha.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

Naked guy sure looks a lot like white hat guy though. Hmmm.

For Sunny - YouTube
Sunil Tripathi missing video made by family and friends..
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

Now they're saying that police are at a location in Watertown where motion detectors have been set off and they suspect this is where white-hat guy is.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

"still on the loose" Jesus Christ... This guy sounds like a pro or had his **** planned out... Seems this might go on until sunrise..
If this guy is not a pro he is making the FBI and everyone look like idiots. They better hope he is a pro. I hope he just a lucky idiot who's luck has run out.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

I feel terrible for those people.

Same here.. Just after seeing that video im just like damn... What the ****.. What the **** went wrong?

Not so much. It is not easy to predict the random moves a person might make. Law enforcement is forced to react, which has some real liabilities associated with it.

Further, how long has it been since the bombing? And they already are nearing having the suspects in custody? That is not bad.

When I see a missing person poster, I often think if I were family/friend would it be worse to never know their fate or if they were found dead. This however...
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

It is confusing.

This guy Sunil, the one who was missing, went to Brown Univ. But I think they said that this started when a cop, investigating a report of a missing person, was shot at MIT.

And even if they got the Univ wrongs, why would Sunil be at the Univ?

And now, they have one guy shot (who btw, didn't look like black-hat guy (as far as I could tell. Pic wasn't clear and he was lying dead on the ground)), one guy in custody, and one on the run. That's three people, not two.

True. Very true. I am interested to know how the bombers expected to get out after the bombing, or if they had a safe house of some sort set up till the heat died down. They seem to have had a plan and executed it so far fairly well. Hopefully these are the suspects and they are in fact the bombers. I wonder what their objective was? If law enforcement did find them then kudos for them, they made good on a lucky break and their efforts.

No... it's still two. Two guys jacked a car, threw explosives out of the car and exchanged gunfire with the cops. Black hat guy was shot, killed, and "apprehended". White hat guy fled the shootout and is still at large.

edit- Naked guy was taken into custody but is not involved... so technically 3... but not really.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

The FBI and the National Guard are in Watertown

The Cambridge event was on the campus of MIT

The National Guard??? Sounds like overkill.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

Apparently 2nd suspect has a bomb on him. Guessing suicide mode now.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

Word is now that the naked guy was a hostage in the carjacking. Poor guy... gets jacked, has his mercedes filled with bullet holes, then is forced to strip down in front of hundreds of police officers and cameras, then handcuffed and thrown in the back of a police car.

Definitely could have been worse though.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

Holy ****, what is going on?? This week has just been crazy.

Hoping everyone is okay, and they catch these bastards.

Edit: Apparently one of them is dead, good.

I will be amazed if he is taken alive. Hopefully he doesn't take anyone else with him on his way out.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

So apparently there is a bunch of un-detonated explosive devices all around the neighborhood. What would cause someone to go crazy like this?
