On Greta's show right now.
I wonder if the bombers were MIT students.
FOX News: Police officer shot, his gun taken from him
Saying suspect from a robbery, probably not connected to bombing.
A pair of +$125 pressure cookers when WalMart has them for $25. Golf equipment logo on one bomber’s cap and either Polo logo or Titeleist logo on Suspect #2’s white cap suggest someone having money.
Fox now saying this guy was a suspect in a robbery. Probably not related to the bombing.
Per FNC (paraphrasing)shooting suspect fleeing from robbery.
Wow, that is disturbing to look at! Not my style/taste at all....
How often does a “robbery” cause a police officer to be shot on the campus of MIT? I’d bet it’s never happened before.
CAMBRIDGE — An MIT police officer was hit by gunfire late Thursday night, a Cambridge Police dispatcher said, and the campus was placed under an alert.
According to a tweet from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, there is a report of an active shooter in the vicinity of Building 32, the renowned Stata Building.
Police officers and canine units swarmed the campus, and a big swath of Vassar Street was blocked.
There was no information immediately available on the officers condition.
Yeah, I thought the same thing about the hats. I wonder is these are Occupy Wall Street trust fund college kids.
Pretty rare. Could be a drug deal gone bad or suicide by cop. MIT cops probably aren’t going to shoot as freely as big city cops though.
Campus Cop, maybe some old geezer?

Fox News reporter Mike Tobin - reporting live from Boston - just said the MIT shooting had to do with a robbery... the gunman was trying to flee the scene. Doesn’t look like it’s related to the Boston Marathon bombing...
According to Wiki...
Architectural style is “Deconstructivism”
Really weird.
Good grief.
What a sorry looking edifice.
For those not familiar with Boston, it is important to understand that it is geographically a very small city. Although it might take half an hour to cross with traffic, without traffic from one end of the city (UMass Boston) to the other end, it’s about five-10 minutes on the freeway.
So, in the context of this story—everything is ten minutes from the bomb site.
My grandfather went there too for electrical engineering, and worked all his life at Bell Labs. My sister just retired from there last year (after 37 years).
And MIT kids are rarely seen in daylight.
Wow, maybe the bombs were really meant for that building!
