It appears that one suspect has been injured and is in an ambulance. As of a few minutes ago there was a suspect face down in the road with armed police training their guns on him. It’s chaos and we’re not sure what’s happening but there has been a major shoot out in Watertown.

Why are the Brits able to cover this but the “media” in this country have no clue this is going on?

How is this coming through The Telegraph? Why not an American source? I don’t get it.

I knew these kind of two man or small squad attacks would come to the states. Didn’t think it’d take this long after 9/11.

The American news must make sure the story fits the approved agendas before they are allowed to report.

Dead before dawn.

If so, the dead had better be the terrorist bombers without one doubt.

FNC is stating that these two are robbers on the run and NOT related to the Marathon bombings.
