MIT: Shooter On Loose; Officer Down
Atlantic Wire ^ | 18 April 2013

Posted on 04/18/2013 8:22:45 PM PDT by NautiNurse

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.

Kind of makes Obama’s pre-pubescent girl-esque rant on gun control seem petty, huh?

I think so, and millions of people watching this will not be in the mood to talk about ending gun ownership, until they get one of their own, people think close to home when watching a drama like this unfold.

Yes, this is very fishy. If this is true, these guys are way stupid.

This reporter said IED’s were thrown from the hijacked car during the chase...

Here;s the time line

10:35 Officer shot responding to disturbance

11:15 escalation....suspects at “two” crime scenes

12:30 Mercedes stolen

moves to watertown....then all the heavy police activity going on...bombs detonated...shots fired...homeland security...swat teams..etc. all show presence.

I have heard a lot of conflicting, contradictory, fog-of-war stuff on the scanner channel. Including the recent gunshots which turned out to be a loading truck. And if the perps truly have access to military-grade weapons, why did they need to build amateur style bombs? I am not disputing at this point that devices resembling grenades might have been used, just that they were actual military grenades.

What I mean is: that’s why they were recruited for the job.
