one station reporting one suspect is dead and another is in custody. State Police says there may be more suspects on the loose.

This is getting confusing. I don't want them dead...yet. I wanna hear why from them.

I didn't want to get too excited....but that heavily armed, makes sense it would be the bombers looking to get a car to get out of dodge.karen lotz;1428778 wrote:so the Globe is running with it it appears. really hope that's true
Also could be related suspects and not the actual two bombers we've seen pics of.

I agree, that heavily armed this is no "ordinary" shooting and car jacking.

So, first guy that was on video on the ground was released, had nothing to do with it. 1 suspect now reported dead and looking for a white male with a grey hoodie, armed and dangerous.

"White suspect with grey hoodie should be considered armed and extremely dangerous. Possibly with an assault rifle and explosives." -police
curly hair. suspect. "could have IED explosive device on him."

I don't doubt that it will be politicized, but lets wait and see. Doubt background checks matter to people like this.Midstate01;1428792 wrote:Gun control battle is gonna heat up even more with these guys firing these assault weapons. Gonna suckkkkk

official statement from FBI is basically no comment
Crazy thing is it sounds like this all started with a disturbance call. Poor cop just doing his job, no idea what he rolled up on.

is it possible that cop just stumbled onto another cell bugging out?
Or maybe there were more than 2 people, and these guys aren't who we've seen but still part of it.
