I'm listening to my police scanner.....this is insane

Reddit has a thread of people following it, if you want to google it.

There have been reports of explosives and grenades. Also, a stolen police vehicle. I'm just relaying what others have reported....so who knows.

On CNN? I'm still watching the local stream. They haven't mentioned FBI yet.


That would involve me leaving this thread. Not happening.
Why not?

From a redditor who lives in the area:
Quote :
My house is literally 5 houses away from where the huge shootout on Dexter Ave in Watertown was. We heard hundreds of gun shots, must have been fully automatic weapons. There were at least 4 explosions which sounded like generators exploding. We saw no blue lights for about 15 minutes from the first shots. Now there are dozens of cars swarming up and down the streets. Officers were going yard to yard across the street. Someone was loaded on a stretcher into an Ambulance.

Apparently it is on lockdown, but previous reports of shots fired were false.

MIT is still on lockdown also.

Picture of first suspect being arrested:

Edit: Suspect who was laying on the ground was released and is walking home. Taken in from confusion. (This is all reported by others....who knows)

Civilians were cleared from that house. It was not supposed to be occupied.
