MIT issued an emergency alert at 10:48 on Thursday night reporting shots fired on the university campus. The school newspaper reports, "Shots fired near 32 Vassar St (Stata Center), police officer down. Please stay inside." That report is backed up by CBS News's Bonney Kapp who reports hearing "officer down" on the police scanner just before the MIT alert went out. For now, details are scarce, but the suspect is on the loose and considered armed and extremely dangerous.

You have to listen to a few commercials at the beginning, and others from time to time, but you'll mostly hear the Boston police scanner, uninterrupted. Skip the box that says "Sign up for U Stream".
fwiw
“Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the 26-year-old killed in a wild shootout with police, was a legal U.S. resident who nevertheless could have been removed from the country after a 2009 domestic violence conviction, according to a Judicial Watch source. That means the Obama administration missed an opportunity to deport Tsarnaev but evidently didnt feel he represented a big enough threat.”

Ah...Thank you. We’ve been waiting for the mosque connection. This is the first I have seen reported.

Somewhere, I read that the not-yet-located perp is a petite squirt—about 5’7” and 113 lbs.
I would expect he’s gone to ground until nightfall.
He’d be stupid to run in broad daylight.
There’s always a million places that look “too small” to hide in, everywhere.
I see you started this all with your Sherlock curiosity and the hunch that the MIT incident may be more than a robbery gone bad.
IIRC, you said something to the effect, "I think I'll stay on this a little while longer."
Women’s intuition...lol. The cops descriptions matched early on it seemed. It was one wild ride. I was so slow typing on my iPad and autocorrect drove me mad.
It does seem crazy that they have basically declared martial law, streets filled with armored vehicles and military hardware for this one ‘Squirt’.
I feel certain there are others. He may be long gone if he had help getting away. If not, they are probably going to find him down in the subways is my guess or in someone’s home holding them hostage.
Interesting... thanks for that link in 1,997. Not surprising though...
I heard that, too... certainly jives with the numerous pics of him at the bombing scene.
Slippery little perp... wonder where he is.
elder deceased perp studied engineering at Bunker Hill Community College

Father (Anzor Tsarnaev) spoke to AP from the town of Makhachkala in Russia.
I think this is the same town that elder brother went to from Jan-July 2012.
From what we know, father didn’t go there until 3 months ago.
If I am correct about the city (???), I wonder what ties they have there.
I fear there may be others as well. Earlier this morning, I heard the bomb squad was on the scene in the Niagara Falls, NY area.... 2-4 "Russian nationals" (possibly Turkish) were attempting to cross into Canada, and had suspicious backpacks.
Also, either an Amtrak or Metro North commuter train in either Darien or Norwalk, CT was stopped early this morning... I think train was evacuated and a bomb squad was on the scene there as well.
Does anyone know what happened in those two instances? I finally broke down and had to catch a few ZZZs, after pulling an all-nighter, lol.
Twitter Sean Kelly @SeanKellyTV 5m:
Watertown Police SUV towed from shooting scene. Damage to vehicle including bullet holes.
Brother's gunshot wounds were reportedly too many to count following the shootout. Very good probability Squirt Perp is injured. Perhaps mortally. We can always hope...
The Niagara incident was cleared. Don’t know anything about the other one.
Father getting out of country before the cell was activated is my guess...if he really is his father.
Thanks for the link! I’m listening!
