Bomb Exploded at Boston Marathon Finish Line

[Amnorix]

I've heard an unconfirmed report (a co-worker's girlfriend called him) that there was a bomb at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, with people injured. I am hearing multiple sirens, though I'm not in the Copley area.

Dude. They said both of their names on the ****ing police scanner. It is pretty much confirmed to be him.

From a journalistic point of view, scanners are not a confirmed source. Bad info comes over police scanners all the time. Especially in a high stress situation like this.

But that said, I agree that at this point it seems like these are the guys. But no news station is going to run with that from secondhand scanner traffic.

Yeah I know, it's just weird seeing her come to the realization...and then CNN calling her house.

I think she is the one on Reddit who said it.

@christiiinaaaxo @jaredleesmith @thejman218 Looks just like a kid from my area that went missing exactly a month and has yet to be found.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but it sounds like we've got one of the two dudes on video at the Boston marathon has been killed, and the other is on the loose but surrounded.

Is that an accurate summation?

Yes and they are going to a location where someone or something has tripped some detectors.

EDIT 4:00 EDT: Motion Sensors seem to have been tripped by suspect 2. He has reportedly locked himself in the building.

[Direckshun]

It's almost certain this dude is going to kill himself before the SWAT teams get to him.

That's how these chickenshit assholes work.

Thus twitter comes to play.

Ok, I am also impressed if she was the 1st.
