Bomber 'put gun in his mouth and fired ... may NEVER be able to be quizzed'

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.

Another thread somewhere on here tonight sez that the perp is already being interrogated by the FBI.

'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.' bwhahah that's a hoot NEVIE.....psssst..I got a bulletin for ya....people who can pass college courses yet have the street smarts and common sense of nitwits are LEGION in academia They are so common they're CLICHES...where YOU been?

Your right. They are saying now that brothers only had one handgun that was seized when older brother was killed.

Sorry but he was not at Dartmouth College. He was enrolled at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, MA.
