Boston shut down: Manhunt for 'Jahar", Dxhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19


The FBI is on a manhunt for the second suspect of the Boston Marathon bombing. One suspect was apprehended, but died at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital.  The suspect names have been released. They are brothers from Chechnya: Dxhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19 and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26.  The older of the two is the suspect apprehended and now deceased. The police and investigators are trying to find any and all connections known about the subject at large, who is known to be from Chechnya and attended an American high school with Eric Machado. Machado was interviewed this morning by CNN. He explained he was in shock, and that the suspect showed no signs of violence, nor had any of his friends suspected that he would be involved in such a crime. He was described as a student attending the University of Amherst, and had worked as a life guard at Harvard University, according to Machado.

Yesterday, the FBI released pictures of the two men suspected of having being involved in the bombing. In the FBI photos, of the two, the suspect still at large is the one wearing the white baseball cap. Late Wednesday night, at around 10:20 pm, there was a shootout at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, resulting in the death of an MIT police officer. This incident was followed by a police chase, resulting from a call informing them of a Mercedes Benz SUV carjacking. The car jack victim was held at gun point for half an hour until released by the suspects. The suspects took off in the stolen car, and a police car chase followed them into the town of Watertown, Massachusetts

According to press releases issued early this morning by Police Commissioner Robert Haas, Middlesex District Attorney Michael Pelgro, and MIT Police Chief John Difava, the police chase led to the men throwing explosives out of the stolen car, and an exchange of gun fire. One of the suspects was injured and taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital. He later died from his wounds. In a press conference early this morning, Dr. David Schoenfeld answered questions about the deceased man. He disclosed that the victim suffered shrapnel injuries and died of multiple gun shot wounds.

Police officers and FBI agents are on the manhunt for the second man that fled the scene of the shoot out. Chief John Difava spoke in an early morning press conference confirming that the suspect they are searching for in the Watertown area, is the same man wearing the white cap in the FBI photos released earlier today. Earlier this morning, Watertown officials asked residents to stay indoors, while law enforcers started performing door to door searches in the east side of the town. This search has now been expanded to all of the Boston area, with the public school system, public transportation, and airports being been shut down.
