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.

actually not sure if he said light or dark skinned...
Refer to my later post. I am not disputing they were “throwing explosions”, just military grenades.
Me thinks this is a cell.....many persons involved.
LE just said ...white male, grey hoodie, black curly hair ...should be considered armed and dangerous with possible explosives
A reporterette on local Watertown TV station (CBS) who was on the scene was told to move back as it was too dangerous a situation, so you know the second suspect is still out there, unless he is now dead.
Dexter and Laurel.
???
Suggestions?
Standby sir, call at 311.
I don’t have a phone and my battery is dying.
311, continue to xxx next street up. ?
Direction we are heading back?
311, you got stepped on, repeat
On our way, we got sent in the wrong direction.
I have it sir.
I’m reading the one that is still alive is white hat guy
Not that it is directly related, but the Columbine kids had quite an arsenal of weapons, yet still made a kind of amateurish bomb. Amateur bombs can sometimes be as effective as professional explosives.
If they were in a "safe house", they'd have had only the clothes on their back and the money that was in their pocket.
They may have gone the robbery route to fund their escape (and another set of clothes).
LE specifically said grenades
makes sense from the description...looked like he had the lighter skin....
Per Fox, likely more than 2 people involved here than just the two original perps.
“Average freeper is a 60 year old cat lady”

Massachusetts State Police saying there may be more than 2 suspects.
I think that is very possible.
Just said on scanner “Could have IED’s”
