Suspect 2 shot, is down and surrounded in Watertown neighborhood
2013-04-19
WATERTOWN, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) – A number of gun shots were fired near Franklin Street in Watertown Friday night and it was believed that suspect number 2 in the Boston Marathon bombings had been shot.

FOX 25's Bob Ward reported that as many 30 shots were fired in the neighborhood. Ward reported that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the man known as suspect 2, was shot by police.

Ward, citing sources, said that Tsarnaev was still alive, was moving and was surrounded. FOX 25's Jarrod Holbrook reported that Tsarnaev was seen in a boat with a canvas cover. He was reportedly poking holes in the canvas.

Holbrook reported hearing the shots being fired in rapid succession, "like a roll of firecrackers" shortly after a "Shelter in Place" order had been lifted in Boston and its surrounding area.

A bomb squad robot had been deployed at the scene to check the boat for explosives.

SWAT teams, sharpshooters, FBI agents, and police took command of the tense and locked-down streets of Boston and its suburbs Friday in an all-out hunt for the 19-year-old Tsarnaev after his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, died in a desperate getaway attempt overnight.

The two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing killed an MIT police officer and hurled explosives at police in a car chase and gun battle overnight Thursday that left Tamerlan dead and Dzhokhar on the run.

Officials said Dzhokhar fled the Watertown scene on foot.

#9  Miranda: nope, public safety exception, per CBS. Someone's on the ball.

#7  Exactly, in the fall. That's the one taken ALIVE. And I just read on Hot-Air, read his Miranda Rights. Which TECHNICALLY was the correct action under the law as it is currently written.

TW, he was given Asylum in Virgina in 2002. That's probably what you were thinking of for Tsarnaev. Though given our immigration system it might as well of been. I haven't read anything about the elders or fathers immigration status's.

#6  Dzhokar became a naturalized citizen on 9/11/12. A grateful nation rushs to embrace a new immigration "reform" without adequate discussion and debate and deliberation. The irony is lost on Dzhokar and America

#5  The younger brother became a citizen as a child. The older brother became a citizen so that he could travel freely, as likely did their father, who apparently returned to Russia a year ago, leaving his wife and family here.

It happens. Not everyone can make the transition permanently.

#4  People in that neighborhood are cheering for their LEO's. Boston Police Dept tweet: "In our time of rejoicing, let us not forget the families of Martin Richard, Lingzi Lu, Krystle Campbell and Officer Sean Collier."

#3  A point that's been bothering me, if they planned this why exactly did he become a US citizen? The only thing I can think of is this exact scenario, where he HAS to be read his rights as a Citizen on American soil, and thus the "message", whatever it is, gets out. The timing would work too if they planned to hit the NY marathon but instead got canceled out.

Also reports of 2men 1woman being arrested as well. Are we talking about...a cell?

#1  Police are repor now trying to use "Flash Bangs" to disorient DZHOKHAR, whom is believed to be wounded but has not surrendered.

Boat wid Dzhokhar is also "on fire" although its not clear yet what started the flames???
