One of the Boston bombing suspects
is dead and the second is on the loose and said to be 'armed and dangerous'
after a dramatic shootout in the suburbs of the city.
SWAT teams surrounded a house in
Watertown on Friday morning following a massive rush of police vehicles through
the area. 'Suspect 2' is 19-year-old Dzhokhar
Tsarnaev, seen on CCTV wearing a white baseball cap, is on the run and
reportedly has explosives strapped to his body.
The terrorist, dubbed 'Suspect 1' by
the FBI, has been named as Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26. He died in hospital from
gunshot wounds and possible blast injuries after a fierce gun battle rocked the
Watertown area hours after a police officer was shot dead at the nearby MIT
campus.
Tamerlan reportedly had a bomb
strapped to his chest when he was killed while he and his brother robbed a
7-Eleven, tried to steal an SUV and threw explosives at police officers.Dzhokhar Tsarnaev posted online he
will 'kill everyone because we killed his brother', according to a dispatcher
in Watertown.
