Four squad cars and a wagon were just on my street.

Searching the apartment building at the end of the block. I'm in Brighton, one town over from Watertown. The Arsenal Mall is a little more than a mile away. You can hear sirens everywhere.

Surreal.

Have not heard that they've extended the door-to-door this far out. Lots of residences between here and Arsenal Street.

I'm in California. It's 4:30 am here and you posted this an hour ago.

That's surreal too.

My facebook is blowing up this morning. Everyone is listening to the scanners now. Did they cancel school yet?
