“We got him” says Boston Mayor Tom Menino





If you’re new to this story – you missed one heck of an evening.A massive manhunt began overnight after a police officer was murdered at MIT, during an evening that included a 7-11 robbery, a carjacking, a massive gun battle in a Boston suburb, that included explosives being lobbed at police, and finally confirmation from the Boston Chief of Police that one Boston Marathon bombing suspect (the older one, Suspect 1) was apprehended and is now dead (due to his injuries), and the second (the younger one, Suspect 2) is still at-large and being pursued by the FBI, the National Guard, and the Boston Police in a massive door-to-door manhunt in five Boston suburbs. All that happened from 11pm ET until dawn.


Then they shut down all of Boston for the day.  Then. at the end of the day, the police announced they were lifting the siege, they couldn’t find the suspect – only to find him hiding in a boat, and the siege was back. Finally at around 8:43pm ET, they got him.
