One of the Boston Bombers has been caught after a fierce firefight with police officers. According to police, the suspect who shot multiple police officers at MIT this evening was one of the bombers.

Armed to the teeth, the suspect fired on police late Thursday night into Friday morning. Early reports say he killed one officer in cold blood, while also injuring other law enforcers.

The suspect was also reported to have grenades, as well as either an automatic or semi-automatic weapon.

The police were able to apprehend the suspect after a gun battle. Police officials have confirmed that the gunman was one of the Boston bombers.

In a tweet by the news agency News Breakers, they wrote:

1 Marathon bombing suspect caught; another on the loose in Watertown after firefight w/ police, officials said.
We will have more on the story as it develops.

Yeah, in just about every one of these mass murder cases, one or more of the perps are total nut jobs or society misfits. Rather than concentrating on going after guns, our society needs to concentrate bigtime on our mental health institutions, and on involuntary commitment of the truly loony, which isn’t that hard to do. Although, it might be hard to find institutional space for all the Dems, heh, heh... Liberalism is a mental disease.

My guess is they holed up for a couple days. Then made a break for it. Needed cash so hit the 7-11. Then went to MIT to plant the load of IED’s. Got caught. And then they were on the run with the IED’s they had not planted. They probably were gonna drop their load of IED’s at MIT and then hit the road to their next cell nexus.

I don’t understand why they are saying anything is “confirmed” yet... what is the evidence?

>>Still, they could be minority Muslims from India, and that is my first inclination.

Possible, but there is just so much that doesn’t add up, and now a shootout with what sounds like fairly sophisticated weapons and hand grenades (?) involved? Doesn’t match up with what is known of this guy at all.
