Re: BOSTON: Gunshots at MIT
I believe an MIT police officer was wounded. There was a scanner link on Reddit. Many thought it was related to the bombers but folks have been denying that now.'
EDIT: Reports now say the police officer has died.

There was a police news conference on CNN and it is believed that the Boston bomber suspect 1 was killed and suspect 2 is in Watertown and the police have a 20 block area closed off looking for him.

You can bet anyone from that area is going to have a visit from the Feds, real soon.
Well Done to area Law Enforcement and the Citizens. I hope the Bastards suffer greatly.

Re: BOSTON: Gunshots at MIT
We are currently discussing the unfolding events in the Boston Bombing thread. To avoid confusion I am closing this thread.
