Bomber awake & responding to questions after he 'shot himself in the head while cornered in boat'
Daily Mail UK ^ | April 21, 2013 | Michael Zennie and Paul Thompson In Boston

The alleged Boston Marathon bomber is awake and responding to questions in his hospital bed.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is responding sporadically in writing to questions from investigators regarding other cell members and other unexploded bombs, law enforcement sources told ABC News.

The 19-year-old 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 on Friday night. However, instead of killing him, the bullet simply tore through his neck.

Authorities initially said they couldn't question him because of the throat wound. CNN reports earlier today that Tsarnaev was 'intubated and sedated' at a Boston hospital.

The Boston police commissioner said Tsarnaev is in 'critical but stable' condition on Sunday - which appears to be a downgrade from reports earlier this weekend that his condition was only 'serious.'

Boston Mayor Tom Menino had earlier feared that federal agents would never be able to interview Tsarnaev but it seems that investigators may already be making progress.

Police sources told MailOnline that investigators are looking into the possibility that Tsarnaev and his older brother Tamerlan had a suicide pact so that neither of them could be taken alive and put on trial. Authorities believe Dzhokhar likely killed him brother, who was handcuffed, when he ran over him....

He needs to use it.

Or be impaled with a Fishing Harpoon.

Because if he doesn't talk he provides no service of keeping him alive.

OK, so is this how it went down, the perp shoots himself as the cops close in so naturally they all unload on him and turn the boat into swiss cheese? And with all that firing as heard on the video clip, they didn’t hit the kid?

Tom Menino REALLY likes to show everyone how stupid he is. (But hey - he got himself in the news!)

He was doing A-OK on the run, until he put the bullet in his own mouth and neck: the suicide pack with his terrorist brother.
Starting to make sense now; perhaps the shot fired from inside the boat was his last bullet; the one he turned on himself?

The self inflicted wound must not have been too bad. I though I saw a picture of him climbing out of the boat under his own power.

The stories they floated this morning weren’t polling well, things had to be changed up a bit. Expect now he’ll die overnight.

The Boston police chief said on TV that the bomber shot at police, but they did not return fire. My guess is the Feds filled the boat with holes.

Like most self-described "liberals," he has fear instead of sense, fear instead of principles, fear instead of intelligence, and more and more fear. People of fear always tell lies.

Look at the pics of the boat! All shots were fored high into the side panel He was laying in bottom of boat.
Those do not look like lethal impacts. The face of the panel looks scarred but no penetration!
Whatever his motives were you got to give it to the kid 20 hrs bleeding and still vigiliant!
Not sayin thats a good thing but the Cat has some stamina!
It’s crying shame he threw his life away!

Why does almost every article on the Boston Marathon bombings feature an inane quote by Boston mayor Tom Menino?

The meme doesn’t match Obama’s agenda and the lamestream shares his.

Did you read about Terrorist #1’s American libtard wife?
