Iagree Rumor is that they had facebook posts suggesting they are Islamic converts. I don't know how anyone could possibly know that at this point since we don't even know their names yet.
They have been ID'd.

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but MBTA has been shutdown. Taxi service is shutdown. FAA flight restrictions over Watertown. "Shelter in place" order is active.

Yup. They are pulling people out of their homes and going through them. The entire area is in lockdown from what I hear.

The impression that I am getting is that this will be over soon, sometime today.

CNN has just put their live coverage on a tape delay because of police activity in a very specific area. Reporters moved back.
