[elleng]

and police know where #2 is located.

*EDIT 4th person, so 2 in custody (from brothers' house,) #1 dead, #2 at large.

[PearliePoo2]

1. Taken into custody from the home of the brothers.

[CTyankee]

2. wow, you're on this early this morning!

Thanks for your info!

[elleng]

4. Been up with it all night, yank!

[sheshe2]

8. Me too!

So many are making fun of this, however what played out since the wee hours has been frightening! Especially if you live here.

[Dorian Gray]

10. This is seriously one of the most

fascinating stories I've ever heard.

[elleng]

11. Making FUN???

OMG!

You're there??? Where???

[sheshe2]

14. About 15 miles outside Boston,

have you seen this link NBC local news

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/04/19/17823265-boston-on-lockdown-during-marathon-manhunt-for-white-hat-suspect?lite

[elleng]

15. No; was watching NBC here:

Mother, grandmother + aunt lived in West Newton. Cousins live in Wellesley.

[sheshe2]

26. Hugs to your family, elleng.

I am not far from them and not on lockdown. I have to go to work soon.

I plan to keep up with the news at work. Who cares if I am not suppose to be.

Another friend just texted me, from a Boston suburb. They are locked down too.

[elleng]

28. Will be thinking of you, she2.

[CTyankee]

12. I was up and online here around 2 am but went back to bed...had some

interesting dreams prolly because I was so engrossed in what I found here...by the time I got up and switched on the TV, lots had happened.

This sure is a fast moving drama, played out in real time. My Boston area daughter and granddaughters are missing it all as they are in Paris for school break. Mercifully, their suburb is not in the close-in suburbs that have been locked down...

[marions ghost]

31. I had nightmares too

--saw young men carrying bombs in backpacks all night. They kind of seemed like zombies. (well zombies and sociopaths are similar). Ya gotta watch those replays....

Glad yours are not in the area. But I know many DUers are affected & need our support.

They know exactly where he is I feel sure. They will have him soon. I hope alive, but he may not want that.

[CTyankee]

33. thanks. It's been a hellacious time for Boston and the immediate area.

It will be interesting to hear what they were saying in Paris, when my dtr gets back this weekend. My son in law works in Cambridge (at the Kennedy School of Government) and I imagine there will be lots for him to catch up with. He has lots of family there, too...

[PearliePoo2]

3. 3rd person possibly a relative.

[elleng]

5. Been wondering about their parents.

[randome]

6. Could it be the girlfriend of #1?

[marions ghost]

32. I'm guessing girlfriend is involved

---------but just a hunch

[PearliePoo2]

7. Now there are TWO people in custody at the home!!

[elleng]

9. Right, taking everyone at the home into custody.

[malaise]

13. dead brother uploaded this Friday night

[FunkyLeprechaun]

16. I think this one is still alive

the guy wearing the black cap (not this guy) is dead.

[femmocrat]

17. Geez, he looks like a little kid in that picture.

He still has a baby face.

[PearliePoo2]

18. Is this for real??

Is that a fucking pressure cooker on the stove?

[femmocrat]

19. I think that is a soup pot.

I have one similar to it. A pressure cooker has a different kind of lid.

[winter is coming]

20. No, it's a large stockpot. n/t

[malaise]

21. No that's an ordinary pot

or so it seems to me

[PearliePoo2]

24. Yes, it's a regular pot.

pressure cookers have a different lid, but interesting that there is that pot in the photo though.
Almost like it's intentional.

[Marrah_G]

22. They don't know where person 2 is

They thought they had him cornered between Dexter and Quimby at willow park in watertown but looks like was a false alarm.

update: just released quimby/dexter area perimeter.

[Marrah_G]

23. I suggest listening to Broadcastify

Boston PD scanners for more accurate news.

[PearliePoo2]

25. Andrea Mitchel saying they will check Visas to see

if these guys went overseas for any training.

[bushisanidiot]

27. These guys may have just been the ones to place the bombs, perhaps paid by someone to do it

who knows if they actually planned the whole thing.. which seemed a pretty half assed plan.

[elleng]

29. Could be,

as they appear not to have had any 'after' plan.

[bushisanidiot]

30. Watching an interview now with a high school classmate of suspect #2 who describes him as a normal

american kid who was the class clown and on the wrestling team. this is what makes me wonder if
he really did more than just place the bomb and didn't actually make it or plan the attack.

quotes from the uncle are stating that he and his brother have been in the u.s. since 2000 or 2001
but he hasn't been in touch with them since 2009.

still a terrorist though, imho. as is anyone involved with planning this incident.
