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:

The photo of the individual on the ground with light brown hair appears to be wearing a blue light jacket with white graphics on the back...similar to a jacket worn by police/security personnel.
White cap guy at large confirmed by scanner traffic.

His name is Hindu, not Muslim.

“Sunil Tripathi Information 4/18/2013

There has been speculation, mostly kicked off by Reddit that missing Ivy League student Sunil Tripathi could be involved in the Boston bombing. He went missing last month without a trace. The FBI became involved in the case, even though it was a presumed suicide.
Tripathi was a philosophy major at Brown University, not far from Boston, where the search expanded to. His father is a rich software engineer.
Right after he went missing, explosives were found near Brown University and destroyed in a controlled detonation. No one had been found behind it.
The first incident was reported at 8:34 p.m. on March 12. Police and fire personnel responded to the area of Pine Street and Tower Hill Drive. Witnesses at the nearby Target store on Washington Street reported seeing a bright flash and hearing two explosions from that area.
Several unexploded devices were found at the scene and later detonated under secure conditions by the State Police Bomb Squad.
The second incident was a few days later at 7:49 p.m. on March 15. The second incident was near the first, in the area of Hearthstone and Fieldstone lanes. The area was searched but no explosives were found.”
Chasing suspect now. Foot pursuit.
The guy on the left looks Iranian - he has that long, sharp nose.
Poetic justice ??? Guy lying in the street right next to the Bedrosian Funeral Home ...
Can’t be sure of course, but Sunil Tripathi sounds more like a Hindu name.
Could be one guy harboring fugitive, one of the bombers being the fugitive. Speculation on my part.
BPD scanner has identified the names : Suspect 1: Mike Mulugeta Suspect 2: Sunil Tripathi

FBI says it’s NOT a bombing suspect. Overexcited police?
Shades of the SLA shootout.
