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.

This is crazy. All trains and buses are shutdown, I can not go to work. Watching the TV right now. Cambridge and Watertown are packed with police.
Where do you work? They said something about pretty much the entire "Boston area" being locked down.

I work in Boston. I normally take the Green Line to get to work, but it has been shutdown since about 6:30am.

NBC News reports the following: BREAKING: Two people in custody as hunt for 2nd bomber continues.
I was hoping one was him. Many authorities are still surrounding a specific area. (mostly SWAT)

I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same bomber as before in the marathon run. Either that or they're working together. Sad... Frown

I work at one of the big hospitals in the city. The latest I have from them is:

"We have confirmed with state officials that we can allow properly identified staff and employees, patients, and their families to enter our facilities. Be sure you have your ID with you at all times. We cannot, however, at this time, allow anyone to leave our facilities. If you have identified an emergent need for a any person to leave any of our facilities, or you are having questions or concerns from patients or their families, please don't hesitate to call "

It is believed that the suspect has explosives on his person. That is probably why people are being cleared out.
According to the police scanner the dead guy did have a suicide vest on and the second is believed to have the same.

Hopefully they are able to take the 2nd guy alive. It would be nice to know if this was just two kids who were punks/outcasts/whatever, or if there is something bigger behind all this.

UMass Dartmouth has learned that a person being sought in connection with the Boston Marathon bombing has been identified as a student registered at UMass Dartmouth.

The campus is closed.

Individuals on campus should shelter in place unless instructed otherwise.
