FBI news conference about to start on CNN
Wait. Reddit was the place that S.T. was first mentioned. Why are we taking that as gospel? Please don't say because the photos look like him. We all know what happened with Reddit and photos yesterday. Has there been some kind of confirmation?
I'm totally prepared to be wrong, btw. I just don't think it's right to use a name after what happened to the minor in the blue tracksuit yesterday. Not until authorities confirm it.
It might be him, but it also might not be him.
Thank you!I heard LE say his name on the scanner.
I hope we don't end up with a hostage situation here.
Schools better stay closed.
Shortly after finishing the Boston Marathon this week David Green, 49, was walking to meet friends when two bombs exploded in front of him as he faced east on the corner of Fairfield and Boylston Streets. He snapped a photograph with his iPhone before rushing to help those wounded. It was time-stamped at 2:50:15 p.m.
He posted it to Facebook with an account of his experiences.
On Thursday, when the Federal Bureau of Investigation released images of the two suspects in the blast, Mr. Green’s friends began to notice a figure in a white hat in the bottom left corner of his picture that closely resembled one of the suspects.
One posted it in a running forum, from where it went viral, and sparked a debate over its veracity.
In an interview late Thursday, Mr. Green, who runs a sportswear company in Florida, confirmed that the picture was genuine, and that the F.B.I. had contacted him and requested a copy. “I have spoken to several agents,” Mr. Green said, “and they have got the photos, they are picking up material from me, and I don’t think there’s any doubt.”

America pulled together for this one.
Here's the gal who thought she went to school with suspect #2, and whose Twitter posts about him went viral on Reddit (and Twitter):
