Police are urging everyone to stay inside of their homes. The area is considered extremely dangerous.
There is one suspect who is reported to be in custody. Another suspect remains on the loose, in what is described as a very active scene.....


This story is unfolding now.

My gut tells me these people are involved with the Marathon Bombers.

Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong though.

Interesting.. Have to wait and see what comes of this.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

They've got someone on the ground and the cops are surrounding him with weapons drawn, but they're not approaching him

They're saying there two incidents.

AT least 3 explosions in Watertown with no reports of injuries or fatalities reported

In Cambridge, a cop responding to a report of gunfire was shot several times, and later died

Not saying if it this is related to the bombing

Whatever is happening in Watertown, it is serious. But police banner is saying one is Middle Eastern.
 
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

Both are "connected"..

Both are "connected"..

Thanks, the reporting I'm watching is a little confusing

So basically, a cop responded to some call at MIT, was shot, and then the perps (there were 2) were chased to Watertown, where there was a shootout and 3 explosions?

Hand grenades?

Hard to tell what's going on with the track record the media has had lately.

I heard three suspects, two in custody (one of those shot or otherwise injured)

The guy they had on the ground appears to have light brown hair, can't see his face.

Its only a matter of time until Alex Jones and his ****tard followers call this a "false flag"
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

Not as much info coming in now. Lots of speculation coming in on the "2nd person who the police are looking for is being speculated was a person in the wrong place at the wrong time"
No info coming in if this was connected to the Boston bombing. 7News Live Streaming Video

They are still chasing 2nd suspect. Boston Swat did a clear of a home with back door open and another area of a gun fight..

and Boston Globe is reporting 1st suspect matches one of the marathon bombers but is now confirmed dead.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

At least they have one suspect in custody. I have about had enough of this crap this week and that little sob better be talking.

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

The 2nd suspect is described as the white hat guy.. Here armed and dangerous carrying explosives.

Live Video « CBS Boston

Boston CBS is saying one of the Boston Marathon suspects is in custody.

Lots of info and most likely misinformation coming in.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

Boston PD is confirming via scanner that 2nd suspect at large is 2nd suspect in Boston Marathon bombing..
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

80-100 round fired is being "conservative".. **** thats a lot of bullets flying 7News Live Streaming Video
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

On MSNBC they were interviewing an eyewitness who claims to have seen the gunfight. Two perps were shooting at police, and threw a grenade-like explosive and that's when the 2nd perp drove off. He said that at least one of them were holding what looked like a pressure cooker bomb.

Don't know how credible this is. It's just some guy saying this, so who knows.

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

I read somewhere that he took off in a police SUV... don't know how credible that is either. First car was a Mercedes that they carjacked.
