Police are now saying there was no gunfire exchange near the boat?!

Authorities had previously said Dzhokhar exchanged gunfire with them for more than an hour Friday night before they captured him inside a boat covered by a tarp in a suburban Boston neighborhood backyard. But two U.S. officials said Wednesday that he was unarmed when captured, raising questions about the gunfire and how he was injured.

The officials told the AP that no gun was found in the boat. Boston police Commissioner Ed Davis said earlier that shots were fired from inside the boat.

Asked whether the suspect had a gun in the boat, Davis said, "I'm not going to talk about that."

Perhaps the trick is in the "exchange" part. You can hardly call it an exchange if it was one-sided. More like a delivery of gunfire?

And the bullet holes were caused by.....termites??

well, does this help?

uhhh...

The police definitely said that they asked the boy to come out of the boat, he refused and began firing at the police.

We've got a virtual wild-west shoot-em-up here, a gunfight at the OK Corral - although of course with only one side having any guns, virtual or otherwise. Quite an odd perdicament for the police to explain, odd indeed.

Well, I can tell you that there definitely was. I heard it LIVE on the radio.

Now before you go saying, . "Do you believe everything you hear on the radio?",
I am Damn Certain it wasn't a voice over. There were a few Pops which sounded like flash bangs, and then several gun shots. I heard the whole thing transpire, including the robot going into search for explosives, to the end of his capture.

One thing that was contradictory though was when I arrived at home I came in and turned on the TV to see the LIVE footage, To my surprise they were just then saying how that just found a "Body In A Boat". I thought Holy Hell, . Talk about a Propagation Delay. Then after a commercial they said that they had just taken him into custody.

So what was heard on the radio and seen on TV were nearly 2 different things.
