Well, they did kill his bro in the exchange.

1 kid, 2 kids - that still should not be any match for over 15 fully trained police officers.

If you think you could do better in the situation I encourage you to sign up.

Im not saying that, but all that money on training those officers. They are doing a good job now tho. They seem to be well organised now the FBI are there.

It's not that easy. You have people shooting at you and throwing bombs. These guys don't have a death wish. The car the suspects were in was supposedly riddled with holes. They returned fire which is basically all you can do at that point. The brother killed supposedly have more bullet holes in him than could be counted. So someone did their job.

The police need better equipment then.

Shooting while driving isn't easy. Also remember that if you miss or your bullet passes through an object it can kill bystanders. The criminals don't care, they can spray bullets all over. Police can't do that.

Already found and positively identified behind a building.

Then Marc Furman could easily be correct. He is a good investigator.
His explaination on why Bomber #2 could be injured was really convincing.
#2 could be sitting in a car in a Boston back ally ... dead.

it's on the scanners now

We know he has a police radio, ie the mics off on comments on scanners for important info.

How long a battery life would he have on that, once thats gone his chances of avoiding capture will greatly decrease.

And they could of killed the MIT cop just for his radio.

Ok question

I am not familiar with how bomb vest work...So if they both had one on, i take it that none of the bullets that were fired at him affect the vest?

Also how did the older brother end up outside of the car was that mentioned?

I'm sure there is nothing to this but what a strange coincidence.

Sister of suspect's house searched.

WEST NEW YORK, N.J. — The FBI is at the northern New Jersey home of the sister of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects.

FBI Boston Teletype: Mass Registration - 116 GC7 4 Door Sedan Honda Green. Driver believed to be armed and dangerous. Vehicle belongs to family member of suspect.

Is that what they are saying now , that they were homemade ? In the first 25 minutes of the pursuit officers were screaming over the scanners that they were throwing sticks of dynamite, and actual grenades.

Where would 2 kids get dynamite and grenades?

More likely home pipebombs middle of the nite and dark would be hard to identify.

They found suspect number 2?
Please be more specific. Because this is confusing!

Search is now 65-70% complete via scanner to NH State police (shocked they are even there to begin with)

That is only for one zone. Missed the other %'s

Yeah they confirmed the last 4 of the VIN a few minutes ago to confirm it was the same car.

LIstening to the scanner. They are now looking for a Mass registerd 116GC7 1999 Green Honda Civic Sedan. 4 door.

Agreed, OR as many other speculate he had help getting away & if that's the case he probably received medical attention from one of the many individuals that helped him.

The one they got "Dies in hospital !!!"
Ok who falls for that!

Well, he had been shot, injured from an exploded bomb and ran over by his brother....I find it amazing that he survived the trip to the hospital to begin with.

Ive seen a couple people say he got run over....I was wondering if I can get a link to where that info came from. I hadnt heard that.

They are talking about it now saying to watch for it

That's scary looking. However, that could be a picture that sufferced online in the past. There are many similar pictures of dead bodies online.

Not sure if this has already been posted... I don't have time to read all 100+ pages. CNN reported that suspect 2 received his citizenship on 9/11/12. Is that date just a coincidence? I know if you look hard enough you can always find a strange coincidence but coincidences like these always seem to pop up when stuff like this happens.

No they found the green honda. If you click the person being replied to you can see the original post, so it's less confusing.
