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.

SWAT team there now...asking what they need.
Appears they are doing house to house searches.
Yes
Oen...I;m just getting to this thread...what the heck is going on? I can’t make sense of it...????
Tuned into station and they were running tape of (Iheard about 30 shots fired!Police all over....homeland security there...??????
Will read the thread here but not getting much sense of it...
Cops did say that they detonated some bombs...one told a reporter about 30 minutes agoi after explosion heard; “That was us.” Reported by WCVB, local ABC, Boston
Yup...the street-level guys will be caught.

A marathon suspect is in custody as manhunt continues for another in Watertown, according to official with knowledge of the investigation.
Earlier on, automatic gun fire reported.
so they are saying its a Marathon guy? Good!! Now to find the other guy.
Too hard to explain..best to speed read the thread. A few of us started following the thread from beginning and were about to call it a robbery when scanner traffic got very interesting ..then all hell broke lose!!
Also hearing it’s the Marathon killer.
right side has not been searched....going back down Spruce again...will have both sides covered...will work down parallel to Lincoln Street...one team already working their way down Spruce.
A lot of conflicting reports, CNN muddying the waters by claiming there’s no federal presence, even though there definitely is.
One suspect in custody. Another on the loose (that they know of). Heavy weaponry, grenades, perhaps automatic weaponry. Explosives being detonated. Bomb threat at a hospital.
This is starting to sound less like OWS bozos and more like Islamic terrorists. Iran is my best guess.
Which guy..black hat guy or white hat guy
Hope to God it was FA, or the demons will be right back on the gun control frenzy by morning.
am listening to broadcast.....saying over 50 officers outside a house....looking for things...bomb squad there....gunshot casings all over the place....saying they are trying to preserve the crime scene.
I still dont know what this is about?????
