REVERE, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) – A law enforcement source tells Fox 25 that a large police presence at a home in Revere is related to the Boston Marathon bombings.

The source said that a suspicious driver was pulled over by Revere police after driving past the State Police barracks a number of times.

The driver reportedly had a "nervous demeanor."

The driver then led police, as well as the FBI, to a home in the area of Ocean Avenue and Beach Street.

It was not immediately known what police were searching for at the home. Three people died and more than 100 were injured after bombs went off within 100 yards of each other near the finish line of the Boston Marathon Monday afternoon.

1. Still nothing on the non-local TV's. n/t

3. So this is the nervous guy who kept driving by and they noticed him

.. so imagine how nervous he is now!

4. So the driver is not the one being questioned

The driver apparently ratted out a neighbor he thought was suspicious. Am I reading that right.

9. I was going to post something about how I'm not going to be able to sleep...

I want to know what is going on...

but then I realized how lucky me/we/my family are to be safe. And how it's important to keep everyone else in our prayers tonight... rather than worry about if I am going to sleep.

12. All of us not directly harmed are so fortunate tonight.

Yet it's natural for us to want to see justice for those who are. Our empathy for their suffering seems somehow insignificant to me when I realize how many people's lives were changed forever today.

Things like this break my heart.

10. It will probably be a long time

before we find out who and why this happened. FBI has to follow leads provided by witnesses, but their investigation will reveal stuff that we won't even know about until they finally put it all together. I am confident that they will get to the bottom of it.

I'm just troubled that one of the dead is an 8 year old boy. I hope they catch the culprit/s and give them a dose of their own medicine, there's a special place in hell for people who do this sort of crap.

11. Exactly, just like with the Gabby Giffords attack

the greatest injustice is to those who don't even get to grow up.
