I heard CNN saying that people are being evacuated from their homes in MA is that true?

1. I am watching CNN and have not heard that, but it's possible.

I know CNN was saying that MIT campus officials were telling everyone to stay inside, but that was earlier and at MIT.

2. MSNBC is reporting that now.

3. Action is in Watertown now.

4. Haven't heard that, but listening to local NBC/tv:

Police deployed from Boston to Watertown. Was a double armed robbery at a gas station, and don't know how that's related to MIT; might not be.

7-11 armed tobbery, mit officer, carjaking, mercedes, 2 suspedts, one picked up , audio broke up.

6. What I find perplexing is that there are so many law enforcement agencies present.

Although, someone is just mentioning what jump started this was the killing of a police officer -- and we know how they react when one of their own goes down.

So sad.

8. Very sad.

Was MIT, and 2 gas station robberies, and coincidence of presence of FBI etc. NBC noticing that. 'Atvively searching for another suspect.' http://www1.whdh.com/video/7newslive

5. Dunno. But I would expect them to clear a few houses near the

arrest scene (if there is one?) out of fear of the car having bombs.

7. I would imagine that is just happening in the Watertown area,

not in all of Massachusetts.

9. Right, it is, relatively small area.
