One of the Boston Bombers has been caught after a fierce firefight with police officers. According to police, the suspect who shot multiple police officers at MIT this evening was one of the bombers.

Armed to the teeth, the suspect fired on police late Thursday night into Friday morning. Early reports say he killed one officer in cold blood, while also injuring other law enforcers.

The suspect was also reported to have grenades, as well as either an automatic or semi-automatic weapon.

The police were able to apprehend the suspect after a gun battle. Police officials have confirmed that the gunman was one of the Boston bombers.

In a tweet by the news agency News Breakers, they wrote:

1 Marathon bombing suspect caught; another on the loose in Watertown after firefight w/ police, officials said.
We will have more on the story as it develops.

There was a former major league baseball played from Massachusetts with that name; wonder if it is family-operated.

It has been reported that they are getting support from locals. In other words, a “CELL”. Surprise! Surprise!!! NOT They believe the 2 suspects are getting help in maybe making the bombs, etc.

New surveillance video ‘shows missing Brown student leaving his home on the day of his disappearance’ as his brother reveals the 22-year-old suffers from depression

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
PUBLISHED: 01:07 EST, 31 March 2013 | UPDATED: 01:09 EST, 31 March 2013

Police and volunteers searching for a missing Brown University student are hoping that new surveillance footage from the time of his disappearance will help them locate the 22-year-old man.

Sunil Tripathi vanished without a trace on the morning of March 16 shortly after walking out of his apartment in Radnor, Pennsylvania, leaving his cell phone and wallet behind.

His family and friends have spent the past two weeks canvassing the neighborhood where he was last seen and handing out leaflets asking passersby for help in finding the 22-year-old philosophy major.

Many pictures and the rest of the story:

If BPD says one suspect is Sunil Tripathi, and Sunil has been missing since March 16 and FBI’s been looking for him, how do you square that?

This I do not get. If he is missing, how did they determine it was Suicide? Wouldn’t there be a body to make that determination? Since he is still missing, this is very telling.

Sunil’s big sister had this posted at the time of his disappearance:

Have You Seen Sunil Tripathi?

If so, please let his family know. “He is a talented musician, a saxophonist, a philosophy major, a critical thinker, and a kind quiet son and brother. We miss his warm smile and generous gentle spirit so very much.”

News reports the authorities know exactly who they’re looking for.

Saw a much clearer picture of the two suspects.

India is chock full of Indians who are Muslims. I know, I had one working for me as a student worker years ago. Had one Muslim Indian and one Hindu Indian student working for me, and both of them had the first name Krishna. Go figure. Plus had one female Muslim Indian student working for me too (at a major public University Math Dept.)
