Wasn't close enough to really see suspect. Was a male in white shirt. Not going to speculate his race.

Horrifying silence right now. Cops have largely left this area and run further toward alleged explosions/shootout

At one point police officers screamed that they feared IEDs, no explosions where I am but officers here were horrified. #MITShooting

FNC reporting lots of gunfire exchanges.

Thank you very much for the feed, Diogenesis! Very informative.

Here’s what I got from a Boston Globe reporter on scene:

FNC is LIVE on scene.

Is it me, or have the news channels gone insane? Hey! Don’t zoom your cameras in on the police lights! Idiots!

Thanks Onyx.
It’s insane what’s going on.

FOX: "Three blocks cordoned off. Explosives on the scene. . do not turn on your cell phones." Linked?

[hawkeye101]

Hearing police are regrouping at a church command post; second suspect is still at large. Another explosion just heard in area.

[Kleon]

Reddit is reporting that these are the bombing suspects.

The only upside is that some reporters are dropping their protective outer shells and finally expressing the real horror of terror attacks.

[onyx]

FBI on scene.... agents don’t investigate or lend assistance in general robberies or carjackings, so likely some suspicions that these two could be the Marathon Day terrorist bombers.

[bd476]

Thanks Hawkeye. Not good these explosions.

[bd476]

That doesn’t match either of the FBI photos.

[antceecee]

CNN is covering... big surprise to me!

[bd476]

Thanks, just wondering still if this is connected to Marathon or to the MIT shooting.
