Bomber 'put gun in his mouth and fired ... may NEVER be able to be quizzed'
The Daily Mail Online ^ | April 21, 2013 | Michael Zennie

The alleged Boston Marathon bomber may have tried to kill himself rather than surrender after he was cornered by police - but failed in his suicide attempt, it has been revealed.

A new report says Dzhokhar Tsarnaev shoved his pistol in his own mouth and pulled the trigger as SWAT officers and federal agents closed in on the boat where he was hiding in Friday night. However, instead of killing him, the bullet simply passed through his neck.

Authorities have said they cannot question him because of a throat wound. He remains in 'very serious' condition at a Boston hospital.

Boston Mayor Tom Menino revealed on Sunday that federal agents may never be able to interview Tsarnaev. Menino didn't elaborate on his comment and it is unknown whether the gunshot also caused brain damage.

The new twist in the story of Tsarnaev's dramatic capture comes as the Boston police commissioner warns that he and his brother Tamerlan were plotting more bomb attacks on the city and they were caught just in time. Authorities insisted that the pair were working alone.

CBS News correspondent John Miller reports: 'They say it appears from the wound that he might have stuck a gun in his mouth, and fired and actually just went out the back of his neck without killing him.

......................

'That's one of the reasons he's unable to communicate, but he can understand what they're saying. And they believe there will be a point where he will be able to talk to him.'

.....................

Officials said late Friday after Tsarnaev was detained that they would use a public safety exemption to delay the suspect’s Miranda rights.

However, the exemption expires 48 hours after the arrest, so quick actions must be taken.

So during this massive manhunt he is in the boat the whole time and the Feds miss him?? Don’t forget he was bleeding.

Then magically minutes after they have finished searching every house they find him where he has been all day and all night long???

I am not sure about that. As you can see a lot of the boat cover is ripped away.

This story gets harder to believe by the minute. Putting the reported snippets together, we are told that the homeowner while having a cigarette / walking his dog, noticed something wrong by his boat and spotted blood. He goes and gets a ladder, putts it up to the boat and opens the canvass to see a curled up body covered in blood. The kid does not shoot him, does not try to escape but remains in the boat.

Minutes later, cops arrive & helicopter above using thermal imaging confirms a "moving" body in the boat. Cops decide to ventilate the (estimated 20+ ft) boat with gunfire, then a flash bang and while this is going on the kid shoots himself in the mouth in an attempted suicide. After quiet sets in, the kid climbs out of the boat to be cuffed.

Now, I hate to be a cynic but something smells to high heaven here. Either the cops are lousy shots and just shot out the street lights or were shooting blanks or this kid is the luckiest SOB alive but believable, this story is not.

It was the boat owner’s noticing of a torn tarp that led the boat owner to call police.

I don't think so. If he put the gun in his mouth and fired . . . the muzzle blast would have torn out his cheeks. All pictures show his face intact.

Maybe he shot himself after he climbed out of the boat?

If he had had a gun in his hands as he was climbing out of the boat, he would have been Swiss Cheese.

If this guy talks then there is the potential to connect his actions to the Saudis or some other foreign government or terrorist group. Obama’s narrative is that he has kept America safe and that any attackers are of the lone wolf variety, acting on individual impulse but not on the orders of outside forces. Just like he wants us to believe that Benghazi was a mob response to a video.

Yeah...so if this is the brother how come he would up dead in the hospital with a gaping chest wound....?

I guess they were just "massaging his heart" to give him some "encouragement" to talk ....and he unexpectedly clammed up.

Sounds like something out of the Chechen torture play book.

re: pat brosnan ON FOX NOW a ret nyc detective .....says this kid is dumb as a box of rocks ...failed 6 of 7 of his courses at college..

Assuming that the entire plot wasn't cooked up in the past couple week, of course the kid failed 6 of 7 of his courses at college. Why put in the intense effort required to study and be a good student when you know that you are shortly going to either end up dead or be in hiding? Not to mention the fact that plotting to murder potentially hundreds and hundreds of people would naturally tend to distract one from ones studies and completion of assignments.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was a sophomore at Dartmouth, an Ivy League school. Students who are “dumb as rocks” don't get into Dartmouth. Students who are “dumb as rocks” in their freshman year don't make it to their sophomore year. This retired detective appears to me to be missing some of the obvious clues himself in examining the evidence. Or, perhaps he is part of the Left’s cadre to paint this terrorist as an innocent victim.

-— Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was a sophomore at Dartmouth, an Ivy League school. -—

Actually, it was UMass-Dartmouth. State school.

Dartmouth College is an Ivy League school in Hanover, New Hampshire.

UMass-Dartmouth is a Division III Little East Conference school in New Dartmouth, Massachusetts.

Not that it matters much.

Thanks for the correction. Still, my point is the same. I think the detective has jumped to a hasty conclusion based simply on grades. I hope the law enforcement agents on the case are much smarter than him in examining the evidence.
