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. For now, details are scarce, but the suspect is on the loose and considered armed and extremely dangerous.

I don't think that's an accident.
I hope so, and I sure hope they bring him in ALIVE. There are a LOT of questions to be asked, and that is the way we do things around here, pre-0bama America.
Dear Lord, hear our prayers.

I’m not sure I can handle another night with NO sleep, and I have a feeling I’m not going to get any sleep tonight either.
My guess? He’s alive in a “safe house” with more jihadis or dead/dying in said house.
OR! He hi-jacked another car and is long gone. This time NOT letting the driver go.
But that’s probably what you all are thinking anyway.
Hope not. Somehow I doubt it, they would have gleefully announced it.
Might be a head fake, let him believe he has the freedom to make a ‘run for it’ so to say.
This stuff is exhausting.
Agreed. Let’s hope something good comes of it, and soon.
Doubtful anything will break within the next few hours. More likely things will go bump in the dark. It almost seemed like they were trying to draw Squirt Perp out of his rat hole by announcing they are finishing up in Watertown and MBTA is running again.
All reasonable alternatives.
That is absolutely what I think. And then the scanners all get turned off. Something is up, in my opinion.
Yo, Bostonians! How’s it feel to be bait?
Rapid fire police weapon fire in Watertown!!!!
Here we go again! CNN saying they hear gun shots..prayers up!!
#BREAKING: Many shots fired in Watertown, WCVB's @wcvbkelleyt reports. Live video: http://on.wcvb.com/XPieWS
Never seen so many unmarked cars!! Mass confusion as people were just leaving their homes. CNN has best vantage point. Shep is in downtown Boston.

Unfortunately so is Shemp Smith... reporting live from the steets of Boston as I type this...
Check the scanner... something is definitely up.
"Hold your fire.... dummy rounds... deploying GAS INTO THE BOAT"
Per scanner.... Dummy rounds and gas being fired into the boat...
“officers do not fire unless fired upon”
they are going to fire canisters .. . smoke him out
Fox News:
Shots fired... suspect is down
Scanner feed says they are shooting dummy rounds at and “gassing” a boat. Keep all media away. They have a “target”.
