Terrorist Attack at Boston Marathon #4

[Gardenlady]

Now reporting the older brother was a registered student at U-Mass. He was a sophomore.

UMass Dartmouth. Probably about 40 mins drive south of Boston.

(Just to clarify. UMass has several locations)

Geesh... Where the heck is this guy? They have like 10 towns on lockdown in the area... Is he sleeping somewhere, what?
What was the last move we heard from him? Was the last sighting of him last night at the 7-11 and after the shootout with his brother?

So much information, yet so little facts.

Were these two responsible for the MIT shooting yesterday, do we know? (Sorry, I really did just wake up.)

MSM saying yes. They freaked when they saw their pics and had to find a way out, needed $$ and vehicle. They knew the gig was over!

Welcome, jane_tennison, I loved Prime Suspect

Thank you

Airport is still open, I believe. So whoever flies in can fly in.

Yes, but how do they get from the airport to their destination? Most public transport closed, and if their family is in Boston (as I am) and can't leave their house - then how to get anywhere from airport?

Another police briefing upcoming.

Yeah but Logan is a PITA to get to even on the best of days.. Today with the travel restrictions, I think your only options is to swim or take a boat (and even then, good luck, with the coast guard out there!)

 

[jane_tennison]

Why would they do this?

I guess they will have to stay in the airport until this is over.

 

[Gardenlady]

Wow, they are pestering the older brother's former MMA trainer to get him to describe him. Media, I know it's their job, but damn I feel bad for this guy now too.

Thanks. I'm usually wrong when I have "an inkling" about things, lol, but I copied and pasted that from Twitter onto our thread. Right for once.

I have some friends that are supposed to fly into Boston today. As far as I know they are still going.

My teenager's flight is scheduled to come in to Logan this afternoon. Still waiting to see if the flight makes it off the ground at the layover. How will I even get to the airport? This is crazy. I wish they would just close it to incoming traffic now. My stomach is in knots.

I understand its frustrating to have things to get done, and to be in panic mode. Take a deep breathe and relax. If your teen gets off the ground and is heading into LOG than I would perhaps call the carrier of her flight (if she is underage) and get some answers from them on how you should proceed to retrieve her.
Maybe if the plane hasn't left she can get on a flight to PVD instead?

hugs!

I find it hard to believe that these guys weren't working with other people in some capacity. Where did they get military grade materials?

Like sitting ducks? My child?? No way. I hope like hell they come up with a plan B.

He has been hidden for so long. How can he be doing that on his own? Does he have help?

Upthread it sounded like there may be another suspect but I can't get anyone to confirm that.

How the hell would this guy even get on an Amtrak train is my thought.

There are conflicting reports that there are multiple people being tracked.

There are train disruptions down into Providence, RI, due to checking.

OMG! I can't imagine. Certainly the airport is under very tight security, possibly no one allowed in or out for many hours now. I would call to calm myself because I would be borderline hysterical. Please keep us posted. Will keep you and your teen in my prayers today. Bless you.

BTW: your screen name, "ami" is my granddaughter's name. Love it!

What military grade materials? Last I heard they used pressure cookers.
