Update on shooter incident. Responding agencies continue to investigate the situation. The scene is outside of Building 32 (Stata) and 76 (Koch) near Vassar and Main Streets. Injuries have been reported. The situation is still very active and we ask everyone to stay inside.

Two people apprehended after a car-jacking four miles from the marathon bombing. Seems to be much speculation at this time that these two might be the ones involved in the bombing.

2 men threw what appeared to be a pressure cooker bomb at police.

Boston Globe--one suspect is in custody in Watertown. Policeman killed at MIT. They are looking for a second suspect.

Many police moving in one direction, with a destination and it is very UNSAFE for anyone to be outside as they are searching for the second suspect.

Suspect may be in Newton?

Sirens all over (I was woken up from bedside radio with sirens and yelling.)

A shootout of 40-50 rounds took place.

Suspect Dark Hat is reported dead in hospital after shootout involving some 150 rounds and a couple of explosions, including one involving a pressure cooker bomb. White Hat suspect is at large and a huge police presence in Watertown and area (I work two miles or so from the site).
I don't think second guy will get far. No reports if anyone else is sought or involved. Hope this is all settled *very* soon.
