One Suspect Dead, One on the Loose

UPDATE #5:  NBC reports "associate" of suspects on train to NY--train now halted in East Norwalk, CT.  Then quickly adds:  Train given all-clear and on its way again.

UPDATE #4  Mother Jones claims it has found YouTube page for dead suspect, and he posted  "a video extolling an extremist religious prophecy associated with Al Qaeda."

Mother of suspects arrested in 2012?  Home address lines up.

Longtime TV reporter and host Robin Young who long lives in Boston: "remember djohar well, beautiful boy in tux at prom party and elsewhere."  More on him as honors student, athlete, well-liked.

NYT:  "A Facebook page for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev shows a profile photo of a young man in a military helmet, holding what appears to be an assault weapon and taking a drag on a cigarette. An announcement from the city of Cambridge, Mass., listed a person by that name as a recipient of a $2,500 college scholarship in 2011, one of about 35 scholarships given to local high school graduates."

Dead suspect's revealing Amazon wish list. (Note: NOT confirmed.)  Also, his  hopes to become Olympics boxer for USA.

MAKHACHKALA, Russia (AP) - Father of Boston bombing suspect says son is accomplished medical student and 'a true angel.'

UPDATE #3   Online profile for suspect on loose.  Logged in last at 6:04 last night!  Claims he mainly care about "career and money."   Worldview: "Islam."  CNN says his request in the "send a gift" section was for TNT and police cars....

Cable live now with major activity in Watertown,  small explosion and smoke in air.   MSNBC:  police "have location" of suspect, so that may be it.

AJE with livestream of police and SWAT team near surrounded house.  One report that explosion was in house. CNN: Police say Suspect #2 rigged with IED and with trigger (not sure how they know that).

MSNBC's Pete Williams:  a third suspect taken into custody.  But other reports say "protecive custody." 

UPDATE #2:   Guy, Eric Machado,  interviewed on CNN said they went to high school together in Cambridge.   Partied with him.  Not bad guy.  All who knew him in shock now, no "malicious" signs.  Some followed him on Twitter and he followed back.   Claims suspect had worked as lifeguard at Harvard.  Attending U Mass-Amherst and on break now.  Pronounces name "Jahar."  Did not know older brother. ...

UPDATE #1: WBZ reporter talks to uncle of Suspect #1.  Calls him "loser" and deserved to die...Brothers announced in hijackng SUV that they were the bombers....

Press conference:   Gov. Patrick and police in Watetown says all transit suspended.  All told to stay indoor and lock doors--for ALL of Boston and certain suburbs.  "Shelter in place." Police say getting tips but may take hours.  Brother still on loose and in car.  Biggest lockdown in history, it is suggested. 

Earlier:  Awoke, turned on TV,  and just saw Pete Williams report  that two suspects in Boston bombings are brothers from  near if not in Chechnya (one born in Russia, one in Kurdistan), who have been in country for ten years.  Latest from NYT.  Suspect number one  shot dead in Watertown, MA., while other got away--in fact, in hijacked SUV, drove over dead brother on way out and huge manhunt underway. 

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, dead.   Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, alive (wanted flyer at left).
Brothers had gone to rob 7-11, leading to death of that MIT police guard.  Then they drove away, apparently throwing explosives out the window.   Had been in country for ten years. Allegedly "failed to assimilate."   CNN: "They are Muslim."  Speculation that not part of wider plot because no help in escape, seemingly hapless after doing bombing. CNN:  Brother killed found with explosives on him.  Not certain if police shot and killed him, or he blew himself up, or even was hit by car and died.  Dead brother had posted on Facebook that he did not have single American friend.
