Recalibar Zaytsev Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Might want to wait a few days to discuss the fine details. Lot of the preliminary information may only be speculated, if not downright fabricated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Afevis Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) Ongoing manhunt involving State police, FBI, ATF, and regular police after a shooting at MIT and double robbery at two gas stations in the area. Two suspects drove around in a stolen (State trooper?) SUV in a chase all around Cambridge and into Watertown while firing back and forth. Several officers down, reports of suspicious packages in the area, and multiple explosions from pipebombs. EOD was called out to a nearby hospital and are sweeping the area.

Guest Afevis Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) The pair are confirmed as the Boston Marathon bombing suspects. They've found a pressure cooker bomb at the crime-scene. One suspect were shot before being taken into custody and died while being transported to the hospital. The other suspect is still in the Watertown area, likely in someone's house.

Markius Fox Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Hmm. "Personal Priority: Career and Money". Built and used home made explosives, comes from Chechnya. I will venture a guess that they were trained by Chechen rebels and were potentially Anarcho-Capitalists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I'm really hoping this is all speculation, and it turns out to just be two dumb kids who happen to be from that region who wanted to cause some trouble. Last thing we need is another war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
