On Thursday night [Friday morning] at 12:45am EST. I was in my living room working on my computer when I heard multiple “pops” coming from outside. At that point, I had no idea that I was about to become an eye witness to the biggest news story in the country.
When I looked outside my window, I could clearly see two people (the Tsarnaev brothers) taking cover behind an SUV and engaging in gunfire. After witnessing shots being fired I promptly ran up the stairs to my 3rd floor bedroom to distance myself a little further away from the gunfire. As I ran into my room, overwhelmed by shock, adrenaline, and curiosity, I jumped onto my bed to stay below the windows but also have a clear view at the shooters and photograph the event. As soon as I was laying safely on my bed I started taking pictures with my iPhone 5 and captured the following images that documented the terrifying shootout with the Tsarnaev brothers, which then led to an overnight citywide manhunt.
Here are the two brothers taking cover behind the black Mercedes SUV and shooting towards Watertown Police officers. (Taken at 12:46:11AM)
The shooters were also driving the green sedan on the left. They had the back passenger door open and were going back into the car where they had additional supplies (assumingly, more ammunition and explosives). They also had backpacks at their feet where they also had additional supplies.
This is a view from the west-facing window in my bedroom and at the end of the block (Laurel St.) you can see multiple police vehicles. These vehicles were about 75-80 yards from the shooters. (Taken at 12:46:25AM)

More pics for your respective galleries, FRiends!
Did I read that right, that the photographer said the brothers had TWO vehicles they were driving to the shootout?
I still have questions about who was driving which vehicle, when...
Yes, both vehicles are visible in the first picture.
And if the photographer was armed he could’ve saved the city and I think a couple more officers a big headache.
Oh well.
The guy got some amazing pictures using his iphone!
Had the person who took the first two Photos owned an Evil AR-15, or a 10/22, or any other long gun for that matter, he could have taken out the Perps who were trying to kill Police Officers.
But no, he is just a useless lump cowering in fear taking pictures on his iPhone to Post on Facebook...
Then again, the Libtards in MA would probably arrest him if he did take the Perps down.
Yeah, if I had been up there with my 300 Win Mag... game over!
Easy targets from that window, 2 shots, game over.
Read the comments. Idiot leftist trying to say that shooting at the suspects would have been,....well...absolutely horrible.
I think gun ownership in that area is about 12%, they aren’t much into taking care of themselves.
10-22 with a good scope, made for the job.
Sort of a hmmmmm.....
We would count it as Range Time. LOL
Perhaps of interest to you. Will support the idea there where more then the two involved.
Slightly off topic, but did the younger terrorist have a girlfriend? There is no mention of anyone he ever dated...guy guys he knew.
M1A .308 or Remington 770 30-06 with Luepold MK IV tested to 600 yrds.
I’d be right on top of these A-holes and they’d be sucking wind....
Unless I got a head shot. Likely at that range.
Then they’d be drinking their own blood and seeing tapioca everywhere....
Whoops. Ms-spelled your login.
Too bad because without a doubt the Kenyan cabal will use these photos to continue their attacks on the 2nd.
