One suspect in Boston bombing dead, manhunt underway for second suspect


(Reuters) - Police killed one suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing during a shootout and were engaged in a house-to-house search for the other on Friday in the Boston suburb of Watertown.

Authorities warned people in Watertown not to leave their homes and not to answer the door after a night in which a university police officer was killed, a transit police officer was wounded, and the suspects carjacked a vehicle, leading police on a chase.

Police were searching for the man known as Suspect 2 who was photographed wearing a white hat just before the explosions that killed three people and wounded 176. The blasts triggered security scares across the United States and evoked memories of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

The bombing suspects attacked police with explosives and gunfire before the man known as Suspect 1 was shot, apprehended, and taken to a hospital, where he died, officials said.

Officials shut down area transit systems while the manhunt was under way.

"We believe this to be a terrorist," said Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis of the bombing suspect still at large. "We believe this to be a man who has come here to kill people. We need to get him in custody."

The two unidentified men were wanted for Monday's twin bombings at the Boston Marathon, when two blasts ripped through the crowd near the finish line.

The massive police operation was under way in Watertown after the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Thursday released pictures and video of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing.

The FBI had enlisted the public's help in identifying two men wearing backpacks and baseball caps in the crowd minutes before bombs exploded near the finish line.

HOW THE NIGHT BEGAN

About five hours after the FBI released the pictures of the bombing suspects, a police officer was shot and killed on the campus of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Middlesex County District Attorney said in a statement.

A short time later, police received reports of a carjacking by two men who kept their victim inside the car for about half an hour, the statement said.

Police pursued that car to Watertown, where explosives were thrown from the car at police and gunfire was exchanged, the statement said.

"During the exchange of the gunfire, we believe that one of the suspects was struck and ultimately taken into custody. A second suspect was able to flee from that car and there is an active search going on at this point in time," Colonel Timothy Alben, superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police, told a news conference.

"What we are looking for right now is a suspect consistent with suspect No. 2, the white-capped individual who was involved in Monday's bombing of the Boston Marathon," Alben said.

The weirdest thing is that I was living in Watertown 2 weeks ago and shopping practically everyday in that Arsenal Mall where the suspect holed out. Goosebumps. Was on way to Taj on 26/11, was shopping at WTC on 9/9 and flew out of JFK the same day and was in Copley Square as well 2 weeks ago where the marathon blasts happened. Talk about close shaves.

Seems like the same guy, so Watertown incident and marathon is linked.

Atleast not a Muslim.

So first this SUnil guy went missing and his family thought he was kidnapped or something, police launch a manhunt for him, an a few days later he plants a bomb.

This is getting really interesting.

Actually the reports are now that it is two brothers from Chechnya.

Who were also responsible for the Boston marathon bombings.
 
So where does this Sunil guy fit in?

Apparently it was a massive conspiracy on reddit, saying that Sunil Tripathi and Mike Mulugeta were responsible.

Which grew even further once this guy's name was heard on the police scanner.

But the mention on the scanner was most likely a reference to an earlier missing persons report, or a reference to the reddit conspiracy itself.

Now all the reports are all saying strongly that they are two brothers from Chechnya.
 
may be he changed name , like david hadley .. to cause confusion!:undecided:

That guy is really missing from last month. His family friends and police are searching for him.

AP: Surviving Boston bomb suspect identified as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass.
 
This is an ongoing operation against the alleged Boston Marathon Bombers in the small town of Watertown, Massachusetts. One MIT campus police officer was killed by the suspects. Our condolences go out the friends and family of this brave police officer. One of the bombing suspects was killed in a gunfight with the law enforcers while the other is on the run. There is a massive man hunt going around Watertown. We understand that suspect terrorists were brothers, and the one on the run is a 19 years old Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev. We salute our brave law enforcers who are working diligently to bring the killers of innocent Americans to justice.
