I have CNN on now, but Twitter is by far the more rapidly moving info by far, even if you have to take with the requisite pile of salt.

GAH!! MT @Elconservador1: Police scanner just said the 2nd suspect may not have been caught ordered maintain search. multiple explosives

This is absolutely bonkers. Thing that worries me is this seems very paramilitary, AND it's happened right after midnight on April 19th, the media was blaring about something happening on 'Patriots Day' earlier and this may just be the right-wing extremist scapegoat they've been waiting for. Extremely convenient, wondering how this is all going to turn out.

I refuse to live-tweet, but the summary is: officer shot, two suspects, police SUV stolen, 1 in custody, police calling in robot for other.

I asked what he meant by robot and he said it was a bomb robot

tollie williams ‏@tollie now
@usernamenuse Bomb robot. Presumably with x-ray capabilities to check for suicide vest.

I think what he heard on scanner is that a bomb robot was coming, the xray part is his guess

Mt. Auburn St is where they set up their command post

Seems too coincidental that they are NOT related. I suppose it is possible, but it seems unlikely in my opinion.

That's just what I'm worried about.

They said they just arrested a guy for having a backpack. His friend is there talking to reporters.
