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 suspects Miranda rights.
However, the exemption expires 48 hours after the arrest, so quick actions must be taken.

IT was still daylight when the cops showed up to plink away!
The reason?
********
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was nationalized on 9-11-2012.
If he would have done this, we would have heard it up front, and there would not have been all the miranda rights and etc, that went on. Even aclu was talking About that. Just what they have come up to close any info he is talking about. Its BS
President Obama has said sometimes it’s better to take the pain pill than to get the surgery. Especially in end of life issues.
So what’s the holdup here?
Have they heard of a thing called a pen?
Have him write.
I think the older Brother was actually the citizen.
************
The older brother was not a citizen but here legally and the younger brother was naturalized on 9-11-2012.
So, he shot himself in the mouth, the bullet came out the back of his neck, but he was still able to climb up and sit on the edge of the boat and could still cuss profusely in the ambulance. But he can’t be questioned because he can’t talk and maybe never will be able to talk again. Yea, It’s all starting to make sense.
This could be the guy whose car they hijacked. They let him go after about a half hour and the police may have thought that he was one of the Chechens.
There’s nothing in that video that confirms that he was Suspect #1. Also story has it that Suspect #2 backed up over his brother Suspect #1 while trying to escape.
Sounds to me (and I speculate) like there was a shoot-out between police and the suspects but the suspects were not in clear sight of the police (at least not the car)and this gave the younger brother time to back over his brother and leave the scene. I would assume that the police didn’t even see the car when it left and probably waited a while before approaching not knowing that one suspect was down and the other had left the scene.
There were lots of people taken aside and questioned that whole 24 hour period. Remember the guy on the ground face down? One could have assumed he was also one of the two bombers, but he was just a passer-by.
My guess is this naked man was suspected to be one of the suspects like many others were that confusing night.
You got a link to that story? I'm not doubting you, just didn't hear about it and would be interested in reading it.
Can someone explain that video report in light of what has been reported???
Certainly not me. I posted it hoping someone could definitively debunk it. So far no luck.
Everyone has the right to avoid self-incrimination. His citizenship is irrelevant.
Make him clomp out his answers like a horse that does math.
Obama: “The Chechen gentleman cannot be questioned, because he has a gunshot wound to the neck. Unfortunately, he also has cramps in both hands.”
They’ll cue Jack Ruby to scamper in there and finish him off before he can talk.
Note to Chechen in hospital: If Michele brings you cookies, don’t eat them.
It was a magic bullet and the million dollar wound.
It went through his neck and grazed his brain.
Now he can’t talk and can’t think and can’t write and can’t remember
— “I did what???”
SINGING ABOUT THE SAUDIS AND GOTTA SHUT HIM HIM
Absolutely!!!!
