MIT issued an emergency alert at 10:48 on Thursday night reporting shots fired on the university campus. The school newspaper reports, "Shots fired near 32 Vassar St (Stata Center), police officer down. Please stay inside." That report is backed up by CBS News's Bonney Kapp who reports hearing "officer down" on the police scanner just before the MIT alert went out.

Got to be them.
Guessing FBI not on the scene?
Cops telling members to power down all cell phones.
YES! Welcome to the addiction to first hand information.
injured suspect en route to Beth Israel Hospital?
FBI is around.
Spruce Street...large number of cops there..checking for further explosives...
Taking perp to the Jewish hospital.hope they shove a pork brisket down his throat!!
They need to get armed security to that hospital stat. It is probably a cell...more involved.
Beth Israel? Oh, I’m sure he’ll LOVE thet!
They were on the campus so assuming they are at THIS scene now.
Not likely. Order was given to power down cell phones, apparently fear of accidental detonation. Near as I can tell, anyway. A bit garbled.
Are you getting that they have both? One in custody and one on the ground?
Beth Isreal confirmed.
PRAY FOR THE USA! HOPE THEY GET/KILL THE SUSPECTS! HELL OF A WEEK, CANNOT REMEMBER SUCH A SERIES OF EVENTS CAN ANYONE? The caps off, trying to calm down a bit.....
Aint that the truth! Here in Oz I’ll have to wait a few hours to hear about this.If at all!
This is probably a Mumbai-style prolonged attack.
Are they the bombers? With automatic weapons and grenades, I doubt it was a robbery.
Yup. AT BI.
dammit. i hope they nail the bastard who shot him so the taxpayers don’t have to fund them the rest of his/her scummy life.
Yes..they have both. What brave, brave men!! Heros!! Guarantee you they just caught the bombers!!
