This is already posted in LBN, but I thought the folks hanging out in GD would be interested, too.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, is awake in a Boston hospital and responding in writing to questions, a law enforcement official said Sunday.

Investigators who have been waiting to interrogate Tsarnaev are looking into the possibility that his neck wound was self inflicted, a federal law enforcement official said.

The official, who has been briefed on the matter but is not authorized to comment publicly, said that suspicions of a suicide attempt before he was captured center on the small appearance of the entry wound and larger exit wound area

A law enforcement official confirmed that the suspect was awake Sunday evening. Earlier, Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis told reportersthat Tsarnaev was still "not in any condition to be interrogated.'' He said the suspect's condition has only stabilized in "the last few hours.''

5. Thanks, SW

I am really interested in what this young man has to say. I am glad hr survived.

[scarletwoman]

6. Yes, I'm very interested in what he has to say, also.

I wonder how much the authorities will let us know. I imagine they'll be pretty tight-lipped for now - we may not find out much until the trial.

8. Me too. I would really like to know why. A lot of "why"s.

13. His prom picture is what really got to me. How does someone go from that to cold-blooded killer in

just 2 years?

9. Thanks for the update

It's certainly significant news to bring here--and not everyone follows LBN or has access to latest media reports.

Thanks again.

12. This is good news..

I'd really like to know what he has to say. Sounds like he is cooperating with law enforcement. I really want to know what led him to do such a horrible thing.

[scarletwoman]

16. I really hope they'll let us know *something*.

Lots and lots of people want to know "Why?"

15. Thanks

Good news

18. Self inflicted wound to the throat

OK

[scarletwoman]

19. Yes, as in possible suicide attempt.

Some news reports today have mentioned damage to his tongue as well. The speculation is that he attempted suicide by shooting himself in the mouth but sort of messed it up.

20. I imagined this...

But I'm weird.

21. Does he write left handed... or is he using his right to remain silent?

I kill me!!



What, too soon?
