<p>They are saying there are explosives. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?</p>

15

<p>Unbelievable. An IED lying on the street? A hostage?</p>

16

<p>Sorry, it’s not related to the MIT shooting as far I can tell so I’m moving over to the other thread. </p>

<p>I just had my wires crossed.</p>

17

<p>Seems like this could be related to bombers. 2 guys Stolen van, heavily armed. Hmmmmmmmm. Don’t believe in coincidences.</p>

18

<p>this just in from Bloomberg:
“Mayhem erupted in Boston early today as police captured suspects thought to be armed with automatic weapons and explosives after the fatal shooting of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus officer”
"Warnings were issued by police over radio about “multiple explosive devices.” </p>

<p>Hopefully they have captured the SOB’s Marathon bombers.</p>

<p>Live video was unreal. Another cop appears to have been shot in Watertown. At least one suspect arrested.</p>

<p>"Explosives Detonated in Massachusetts Standoff’</p>

<p>"Two young men, armed with guns and explosives in what appeared to be backpacks, engaged in a violent standoff with dozens of police on a street in Watertown, Mass., Thursday night, a resident said. "</p>
