Watertown resident Andrew Kitzenberg described the earlier police shoot out outside his house. “They engaged in gunfire for a few minutes,” Kitzenberg told NBC News. “They were also utilizing bombs, which sounded and looked like grenades, while engaging in the gunfight. They also had what looked like a pressure-cooker bomb.”

One of the shooters then ran toward the officers, while the other got into the SUV, Kitzenberg recounted.

The person on foot later fell to the ground, but Kitzenberg said he was unable to tell whether he had been tackled or shot.

The other drove the SUV through the line of police cars at the end of the street, he added.

this article has a lot of information

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.

what is reddit?

I heard LE say his name on the scanner.

Thank you!

I'm behind the 8 ball tonight ...

Nothing is making sense.
Come on LE... give us something in this press conference.

I REALLY hope they catch this dirtbag before rush hour. Between the bombing and a cop being killed, I can see the local PD "going full " like the LAPD did during the Dorner debacle, as evidenced by proning out and stripping naked the carjacking victim.

I hope we don't end up with a hostage situation here.

Schools better stay closed.

The events began unfolding with reports of shots fired on the MIT campus at 10:48 p.m. ET, and the situation remained "active and extremely dangerous" for hours, according to MIT's emergency website. It was later reported that a campus officer had been killed.

The MIT police officer was found shot multiple times in his vehicle, the Middlesex District Attorney’s office said in a news release. Authorities launched an investigation into the circumstances of the shooting and determined that two males were involved in the shooting.

The suspect was brought in under police guard.

Beth Israel Hospital says suspect pronounced dead at 1:35am ET

The doctor felt immediately when he heard gunshots that the bombings and shootings were related.

America pulled together for this one.

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.”

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):

If they aren't Americans, the fact that they didn't get the hell out of here after Monday tells me they weren't done.

That is something she should have shared with LE and left off the internet.

Suspect #1 had more than just gunshot wounds. Not just gunshot wounds.
Burns and shrapnel, evidence of a blast. He blew himself up.
