Shooting at MIT (And continued events in Boston 18-19 April)

26 erm st (sorry, bostonian accent) two males get out of car one carrying sword

edit: believe 26 Irma st

Just seeing this on CNN : controlled detonation will be set off within minutes in Watertown.

A home in Watertown has been set, staged, semi-cleared (2 floors), and a perimeter control implemented.
Local P.D. have been completely removed from the area.
Media assembled and assembling.

We remain in a stall...

Wow! What a dumbass this Sunny is...had great family and friends and he threw it all away for WHAT? For some f'd up cause? To plant some bombs and kill people? What a douche!

Uh, yeah, the kids a vegetarian and based on that and his dad's Indian accent, I'm going to go ahead and asume he's Jain or Hindu...so, if we'e thinking al-Qaeda, not likely...if we're thinking sovereign militia movement...plausible, but, nah...

This is like the baddest dude ever. It is like there are bombs all over, cops killed and cars stolen while other cops are there. And many hours later and he is still no where to be found.

Hell we should hire him to go out and take care of the enemies of the world.

Fox just showed a man down and police with guns drawn on him

"Standby at Cyprus and Dexter."

"We have an issue with watertown police that we cannot talk with them directly. Can *sean?* patch us through to them?"

If this was GTA, he would be on 5 stars

Does anyone else find it ironic that police will be searching all homes in watertown in the same night Paul Revere rode?"

I'm sure a screen play is being written as we speak.

Someone just put this up on twitter

The info that he saw the guys throwing what looked like hand grenades and a pressure cooker type of bomb was not on twitter. That was part of the MSNBC interview he gave though.
