CNN now retracting. 1 not 2 suspects have been arrested

Drew Griffin reporting live from the scene.

Nothing on their site yet. Best I can do so far is post this crap quality photo I just took of the TV with my phone...



ETA the photographer watched the video of him being put in the cop car and said it was the same guy he saw.

He was fairly light skinned in the photos from the original event and the one in the vid looked similar to him, but it's hard to tell at night with the car lights.

They are not connecting this naked guy to the MIT cop shooting or to the marathon. A second guy was handcuffed in Watertown but CNN doesn't know who or what he is connected to.

I understand from my DU friends.

NBC local says dead guy is a marathon perp, and 2d being searched for in watertown is also marathon perp. 'one suspect accounted for and looking for at least one more.'

that there are more than the 2 we've seen.

Dead suspect taken to beth israel, wounded related to MIT or 7-11 or gas station robberies I think.

Sorry, Leslie Blitzer. ABC and Boston Globe say only one in custody, and ABC won't confirm it's a Marathon bomber.
