Having another suspect at large is going to give people a hard time sleeping tonight, or for the next few days for that matter. I just hope they catch him before anything worse happens.

According to Gawker a Watertown house has been surrounded that they believe the remaining suspect is in.

And to think I just landed here. Fuck me.

EDIT- Don't worry about me, I'm safe. The hotel I'm in is far from MIT. Any other members in the Boston area, are you guys okay?

Well, glad they found him quickly. Lets hope it'll go over well before the morning.

I'm a grad student at MIT, and the location of the (MIT) incident is on my walk home. I was working late today. If I had left 30 minutes later...

Hugs, man. My friend Dolan goes there as well- he's a sophomore. Thank god he lives off-campus.

I get the impression that, once again, no one knows what is going on.

Between the marathon bombing, the poisoned letters, and this shooting, I have to ask:

Why are all of these things happening now?

A better question is will it get even worse?

Fine here.  I live far enough away, that I don't think he'll be anywhere near where I live.

Stay safe dude.


EDIT:
Okay, so I was just talking with my mom, and this is the story as she's heard it from local news sources:

Apparently the two guys robbed a store, and then shot the MIT officer and stole his car.  They then proceeded to later carjack another person, who wound up getting away.  Police found them and started after them in a car chase, with them throwing makeshift bombs from the car at police officers.  That led to a shootout in Watertown where a MBTA cop was injured.  They captured one suspect, but he died of blast wounds, which they are not sure if they were intentional or sustained when throwing bombs at police.  The second suspect is still at large and they are urging businesses to stay closed and people to stay indoors as much as 2 towns over from the incident.

EDIT 2:

Was listening to WBZ news radio on my way into work.  According to them the two men involved in this are believed by the FBI to be the two men who set off the bombs at the Boston Marathon.  They supposedly identified the one who died as matching one of the suspects.

Bad things tend to come in threes, says an old wives tale (and my mum).

Remember when all of those celebrities died a couple years ago? Yeah.

Or in this case, fours, if you count the fertaliser factory explosion in Texas.
