Chatter on the scanner has decreased a hell of alot imo. Must been all on secure comms now.

Completely logical imo. We all share it on this site others on other sites, a suspect with a phone easily gets updated on what is happening isnt he?

I heard one cop say the code to talk private, will call on his phone

I believe it was +2

It's probably a raccoon. I hope it's the suspect though. We gotta put an end to this soon. The sooner it ends, the sooner people will feel safer.

FBI Boston working in grid

whats that mean?

That's what I was about to ask, said they needed to be aware theFBI were working inside their grid, and were going to be "Tracking"... wondering what that means?
They made another comment about the FBI tracking was going to be effective?


Well something is now going on, communications just picked up..
They are calling for "most lethal shotguns at Arsenal mall"
That is where the media, civilians, and command post is...did anyone here anything different?

Yahoo finally catches up

You Bostonians are going to have one hell of a day today. martial law or not, your day is going to suck!

I was not aware that these guys tried to bomb MIT but were caught in the act. I really hope they catch the last one alive... so he can let everyone know why they're doing this.

I wonder if the people talking on there realise the number of people around the world listening to their every word.

Talking about shotguns

For the international members having difficulty following any of the live scanners posted up here, ive found one that finally works.

Police requesting shotguns at Arsenal Mall?

^

Grid sweep means they drive street by street in a blocked off area...I once did a ride along with Cop friend on a grid sweep. they have units on every road in the grid area, all drive along the grid of streets, going the same directions, the same rate of speed. If it flushes out the suspect, the second sweep, following close behind gets them,

Requesting less lethal shotguns at the mall

Sounds like a lot of effort for two blokes with backpacks?

How would the local constabulary, national guard, army, airforce, navy etc deal if there was 4 of em ?

It's not martial law, they're just shutting down buses and subways so he can't escape

I actually think its to prevent an attack. He can just hijack another car, he's not going to try to escape using public transport.

I can understand MAYBE shutting down public transport.

The businesses can't open, people can't leave their houses. LOL

I don't think he means for all of the Boston area, just the places in the perimeter and the immediate surrounding areas. Makes sense.

Also, there was a reported sighting in the area where they created a three block perimeter an hour ago. Though, I think there have been like 10 reported sightings, all pretty far away.

Less lethal shotguns - they dont want #2 dead, too

But thats a tall order...

Wonder if they would keep Boston residents locked in their homes? People are gonna still insist on rushing out to work, etc

Crowd control? is the crowd of civs at the mall getting rowdy.

If they do catch him , which I doubt they will. He's just going to blow himself up, guarantee it.
