State police say they are assisting in the search for a suspect, processing the crime scene and supporting the investigation.

I can't get in to listen, but these guys have listed automatic gun fire (take that with a grain of salt) as well as grenades being used.... I'm somewhat skeptical.

This works.

I just heard that one is in custody, one is being held at gun point.

But they're trying to get confirmation.

Hopefully we have no more casualties. Too much death this week.

COULD be an attempt to plant more bombs that was foiled.....

 

[RstyShcklfrd]

No idea. But I'm passing up on some much needed sleep to listen to this.

the dead suspect was CONFIRMED strapped with explosives

 

[Shotgun Jeremy]

I read on a feed that he was killed by the explosives on his chest.

the dead suspect was CONFIRMED strapped with explosives

Thats strange since the one that died was arrested and stripped naked to make sure he didnt have any explosives before they arrested him. He was shot in the firefight and then taken into custody and sent to the hospital. Unless they have killed another one, meaning more than two people involved.

I guess they have a photo of the guy when he went into the gas station. Appears to be one of the guys the FBI listed as a suspect in the Boston bombing.
