Second Bombing Suspect Captured In Boston

April 19, 2013

[Updated] A manhunt for the marathon bombing suspect is underway today [Apr 19] in the city of Boston with residents advised to stay inside, and the city’s subway, bus, train and taxi services suspended while schools have been closed.

Boston police have shot dead one of the marathon bombing suspects, who is being identified as 26-year-old Russian national Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The suspect still being sought is his 19-year-old brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.


The violence began late last night with the robbery of a 7/11 convenience store and then the fatal shooting of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer. Police believe the bombing suspects were responsible for the officer’s murder. In addition, transit police officer Richard Donohue, 33, has been shot and wounded.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration closed airspace over a 7-mile-wide stretch of the northwest Boston area, which applies to all aircraft flying below 3,000 feet. As of this time, the Bermuda to Boston flight scheduled for this afternoon is still showing as scheduled, however this is clearly a developing situation and things may be liable to change.

Further information can be found on all U.S. news outlets, and via the Twitter feed below.



Update 2.27pm: A Bermudian who lives in Boston has described the streets as “ghost town” with helicopters hovering in the sky.

Jamie lives in Back Bay, very close to where the two bombs went off at the marathon, and arrived back in Boston yesterday evening from New York, where he found a very strong police presence everywhere.

He said he heard a loud boom through the night, which was apparently from one of the grenades from the car chase. He said as it very quiet out [minus sirens] so sound was able to travel quite far.

He stayed up most the night watching the news coverage and checking Twitter for updates, and went to bed at around 4am, however was woken up around 7am from so many people calling and texting. He said he had no food in the apartment, and went out briefly early this morning and found very people out on the streets.

Update 7.30pm: An advisory to stay indoors has been lifted, and the MBTA will resume service, Gov. Deval Patrick said.

Update 10.30pm: Dzhokar Tsarnaev, suspect in bombing investigation, has been captured.

    One is dead. The other will be dead or caught by the end of the day. If MA has capital punishment, either way he will also be dead.

    • Keepin' it Real...4Real! says:

      ur right …a dead man dont tell tales …hmmm quite convenient.

      • Mad Dawg says:

        Captured alive. So there goes your stupid theory.

  2. swing voter says:

    …..you killed innocent unarmed civilians that can’t defend themselves ….No matter IRA, Al Qaeda or Chechen Rebels are all subhuman…..cowardly depraved Bastids

    • joe says:

      US drones + dropping bombs = you killed innocent unarmed civilians that can’t defend themselves. I guess that makes the US subhuman as well?

      • Independent says:

        @ joe

        Very true statement. This is why I ask people, how do you think the innocent families that have lost family to drone attacks feel about America. I believe because they hardly see, or hear about it, some how does not carry the same weight.

        • swing voter says:

          a legitimate war will result in innocent casualties. Would you prefer if Saddam was allowed to stay in power and create a dirty bomb? Would you prefer Afghanistan remained a strong hold for al Quaeda?

          • joe says:

            1) The US wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were/are hardly ‘legitimate’. They were clearly started under false pretenses as no WMDs ever existed… Why are they on-going years after Saddam and Osama were killed? And why did they invade/start war with a country due to the act of a relatively small group of people? Will the US invade Chechnya now?

            2) Dirty bombs are bed, yes. But don’t act innocent in the use of them. Which country has nuked another country before?… US having/using dirty bombs: ok. ‘Enemies’ have them: bad.

            3) The two Boston bombers will only add fuel to the ‘Muslims-are-bad fire’. No motive has yet been found and yet everybody and their uncle is labeling this as a Muslim terrorist attack. Question: what is the religion of the (white) ricin-mailing dude? Funny how white/christian gets a pass… and white/brown and Muslim doesn’t…

          • Come Correct says:

            Guess how many WMD’s they found in Iraq…0! Kim Jong Il made nukes against the advise of the UN and Kim Jong Un is looking like a pretty big threat right now and all the US has done is put up anti-missile defences in straegic locations. It is not a legitimate war when you fly planes into buildings killing thousands of your own people and others as an excuse to occupy countries for their oil. America hired private military contractors such as Blackwater (not unlike the CRAFT employees at the bomb location) to avoid charges of war crimes (such as zip tying innocent Iraqi men and women and kicking them into a river because they get “dealt with” internally http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN0udPRnd2M ).

            • swing voter says:

              man yur fulla shyte if u think 9/11 is a US-led attack.

              • Come Correct says:

                So please explain to me why 2 buildings purposely designed to whithstand the impact of a boeing747 came down in a pancake effect when smaller buildings have fallen over. Where do we see these pancake effects? Right, controlled demolitions. Explain to me why there were steel beams cut on angles. Where do we see steel beams cut on angles? Right, controlled demoltions. Explain to me the puddles of molten steel found at the base of the WTC burning 4x hotter than jet fuel. What could possibly burn 4x hotter than jetfuel? Right, thermite, a chemical compound used to cut through steel beams in…controlled demolitions. Then theres always the statement the guy in the basement who on his way out of the building afer hearing the first crash was blown upward off the ground but I guess the “terrorists” piloted a submarine through the sewers huh? Wake up buddy.

              • Keepin' it Real...4Real! says:

                thats why you are a swing voter…you just dont have the brain capacity to think on your own accord. Get off of your swing and plant your feet firmly on the shaky ground that people like you are procuring. Obama is being forced to start WWIII, so what better
                to induce a war than to use the peoples naivety to distract them into looking the other way…like i said before i’m done with dummies.

          • Keepin' it Real...4Real! says:

            you are talking about a subject that you have absolutely ZERO knowledge of, if only you knew how Al Quaeda was formed you would be eating the garbage that you so confidently spew…

          • Independent says:

            What legitimate war are you talking about? Lol

            I shouldn’t be laughing, but if you think the Iraq war was legit, you my friend must be a fox news watcher.

  3. Come Correct says:

    This still doesn’t explain what private miltary forces from CRAFT were doing at the scene of the explosions, standing behind the crown clearly not watching the race or why they left the area moments before the explosion and ran the opposite direction from a situation they are trained to deal with. Making sure OP #falseflag went according to plan?

    Obama’s gun control law didn’t pass, the next step is to ban shot reloading gun powder and limit the amount of rounds a person can buy at one time. The second ammendment gives American citizens the right to bear arms against a tyranous government, they want to revoke that right. On tuesday CNN loaded the news with false information of a suspect at the exact time the CISPA bill was passed with almost no coverage of that event. CISPA will waive any rights to privacy on the internet, the government will be able to see every e-mail, every picture, every website, everything you do. A further attack on the civil liberties of American citizens. #NWO

    • tricks are for kids says:

      @ Come Correct…..I’m with you. ..so much of this stuff is orchestrted …..its sickening. …

    • DarkSideofTheMoon says:

      New World Order must be a bunch of losers since they killed 3000+ people in NYC on 9/11 and still have to bomb a marathon to get the world’s attention. I mean what organization takes hundreds of years to take over the world?

      • Independent says:

        @ Darksideofthemoon,

        I’m not gonna sit here and tell you who did this, but if you do some research, you will find that over time, GOV’s many countries have done some evil deeds to their own people, for various reasons.

  4. Come Correct says:

    Now the world watches and waits for the polce to kill a bombing suspect without any legal trial…

    • Come Correct says:

      Nevermind they got him, he’s wearing a suicide vest with a possible dead man switch n his hand…lets hope he doesnt blow himself up.

      • Come Correct says:

        Sorry Bernews that is false. Police engaged a suspicious person not the suspect.

      • Idiot says:

        Why don’t you put the vest on so you can join grandfather.

    • What are you serious [come correct] ? they would be given a trial if they give themselfs up, but they want to go down in a blaze of glory ,sick bastards!!how about the innocents that was killed??given a chance to live in america and they do this??killing this scum is the easy way out??they should have chopped them into pieces and make them suffer first..sad thing about this you will get people like yourself who defends people like this??but before you defend, put yourself in the postion as one of the families who lost a love one??

      • Come Correct says:

        Who is defendng him ham? How many people on this site alone jump to conclusions and judge people before they get to court? How many others say innocent until proven guilty? If he goes to court and is found guilty then lock him up in a Boston prison and see what happens. If they shoot him dead like his brother the world will never know and the authorities can say what they like. I feel for the people and the families affected by this but I wont be blinded by emotion. I’ve kept a close eye on thissince the start and I haven’t found one picture from that day with either suspect in it. Why was there private military forces standing at the first bomb site? Why did they leave moments before the blast? Why did they run from a situaton they are trained for? They are former marines that have spent numerous tours in Iraq dealing with IED’s on a daily basis. It’s rather convenient to blame Islamic extremists. I suppose Osama knocked down the towers too.

          And here is the second suspect on the far left casually walking/running. Enough for you come correct?! Forget their rights.

          • Come Correct says:

            No, but I’m not going to defend the guy simply saying there seems to be more to this than everyone thinks. Not only do they think there are more involve now but still no one has addressed the issue of private military forces at the scene and not involved in the police operation happening right there at the same time.

            • r says:

              its a false flag operation. the same as both of the world trade center bombings. I say bombings because in 1993 there was a bombing and in 2001 there were explosives used to take down the towers. No one is saying that the “new world order” “Illuminati” or who ever did it. The facts are simple, Governments across the world use the False Flag operations to gain control, society cannot exist with out an icon to “hate” together. Soon enough the US government will be blaming someone and invade their country for what ever resources they have, and it will be Afghanistan and Iraq all over again.

              • tricks are for kids says:

                @ r …I have been trying to remember that term all day! “False Flag”…people need to look st the bigger picture instead of what others want them to see and believe…..

    • Richard Martin (False name that looks real) says:

      If he fires rounds at police he’s not a bombing suspect, he’s a threat. And a threat must be dealt with defense before someone else gets hurt.

      One cop is dead. Assumingly from this guy and his brother. If they find him and he shoots, what do you expect? TASERS and batons?

    • Boston says:

      From Russia, Without Love. What are you a Terrorist lover Come Correct, when these rats do this type of s#!T they should be beaten on the spot, F#C his rights!

      • Come Correct says:

        No I hate “terrorists” so go beat George Bush for the 3000+ killed in the WTC. We all feel for those inolved but how many of you care about the Afghan wedding hit my an American explosion? What about the numerous drone attacks in Pakistan killing civilians? Careful where you point your fingers if your hands aren’t clean.

        • r says:

          People are so f$%#ing ignorant of fact. Mr. Come Correct, Continue to come correct.

  5. Boston Police come to Bda says:

    And help us with a lil issue we have. I would love to see one of those black HUMMERS going through town and all down through the problem areas with SWAT teams in full gear….just 20 good men…with no ties to this place….that have no problem sweeping the streets clean.

  6. Are you serious says:

    @Come Correct . . .so are you telling me that the police or whoever should have just let him open fire and blow up whatever while they stood by trying to negotiate with him?

    Really???? We make excuses once again for poor choices and behavior . . . they could have lobbied for whatever injustices they felt they were against rather than blowing up innocent people!!!!

    • @ come correct!! at least we agree George Bush was an idiot! but two wrongs does not make a right!!yes many people are killied on daily basis innocently, so no one is pointing fingers, sad thing about this that history has a way of repeating itself,makes no difference what colour, religion, or nationalty ,it will happen again..

    • Independent says:

      @ Are you serious,

      What excuses are you talking about? Come correct has not made any excuses, he is just telling you this type of thing happens everyday is parts of the world that we do not hear about. It’s being put on blasts because it’s America, but there are many (civilian) people around the world who live with this threat on a daily basis.

      • Unjrust Realities says:

        And it would be up to their government to handle their problems . . .at the end of the day unless Bermudians are directly impacted by tragedy, it appears they don’t have the empathy to feel others pain. It’s a tragedy that this is going on, however America cannot take on the problems of the whole world . . .they have to solve issues that face the freedom and safety of their own US citizen

        • Just Illusions says:

          Similarly to how Americans (who weren’t directly impacted by tragedy in Baghdad) didn’t show empathy towards those killed that same day at Baghdad International Airport?

  7. Ya Right says:

    Illuminati strikes again, the media is feeding the masses BS. look at all the evidence more police than ever before, bomb patrol on top of roofs they all knew what was gonna happen, its called scare tactics create a problem/ provide a solution. Next they’re gonna want to put cameras all over the city or give random security checks. How the hell two young Russian boys get their hands on explosives and at first they were calling the suspects dark skinned, they lying right in our faces.

    • DarkSideofTheMoon says:

      Illumanti????? Guess they were “chillin wit Beyonce n Jay-Z” in Cuba getting ready for the attack….where do you people come from?

      • Keepin' it Real...4Real! says:

        well at least we know where you are from, you f#@king moron dark side of the moon STFU and educate your self… of go with the flow you imbecilic follower!

    • Zombie Apocalypse says:

      So if there were more cameras maybe they’d have known they weren’t “dark skinned”.

  8. Bermudian says:

    He looks like a little boy. I hope he turns himself in without hurting himself or anyone else, but realisitically I don’t think that’s going to happen. Its easy for those to talk about human rights for these sick individuals, but try to go preach that to the parents of the innocent 8 year old who died. Those parenst were robbed of the joy of raising that child. The whole thing is so gut wrenching.

    • Independent says:

      @ Bermudian,

      Do you feel for the parents of innocent children that were killed in Iraq? How about Pakistan? From the comments on here, I get the feeling that this bombing is some how different because it took place in America. I feel for people all over the world who lose their children to this type of tragedy.

      On another note, let’s think about it. Has justice been served for the 10,000′s of innocent iraq men, woman & children that America killed under false information? The point that I am making is not to make people feel the bombing in Boston was not a tragedy because it was, by all accounts. But I want people to step back, and understand there are families on the other side of the world who look at America as terrorist, due to their experience.

      There are always 3 sides to a story, his, hers, and the TRUTH!

  9. Oh WoW!!! says:

    thanks for posting his photo i will be looking out for him. LoL

  10. Oh WoW!!! says:

    Its all manufactured distractions, another false flag operation. The media cut away from the live feed so you want see them shooting and killing him so he want talk. They have no intentions on taking him alive. Just like what they did to Chris Donner in California.

  11. fred says:

    Yes, police lockdown and manhunt… this is EXACTLY how our police should react as soon as there are shootings. Treat gang members as terrorists, close all shops, transportation, etc and sweep the island until they are found. Then if necessary shoot them.

    • Just Illusions says:

      I’m sure that will do wonders for the local economy and tourism…

  12. Did he do it? says:

    Bermuda Police would love to but as soon as they have to put some licks in one of them idiots on the street who might just be a relative of the same people complaining for police to do something! Guess who they will complain about?!!!

  13. Don't get it says:

    So many negative comments and not one of passion for all the people in Boston that dealt with this, the bomber is now caught, and not gunned down like you thought he would be, Hopefully he will give the information needed and be locked away forever. I just can’t understand everyone’s ability to blame everyone, maybe if we were all calmer and kinder some of this hatred would stop.

  14. James S says:

    Maybe now the people of Boston will realize what they were doing when they spent years financing the Irish Republican Army so they could maim and kill innocent people in Great Britain. Especially the bombs that killed kids in Warrington.

    • swing voter says:

      it’s a shame that the south end lot, boston politicians and law enforcement turned a blind eye to open and willful financial support for the IRA…terror should never justified, ignored nor financially supported

  15. Come On Man says:

    The following letter was written by an anonymous person: commission and I’ve just received word to start campaigning on a campaign we’ve been working on for the last two months and now it all makes sense.

    I’ll keep it as short can I can.

    They’re going to pin this event on a male late teens to early 20s and say he did it because he’s unstable. They are going to find firearms d a NRA book in his home. They are going to say he used reloading powder for the explosion and that reloading powder shouldn’t be for sale to the public. They are then going to say that because the powder in ammunition be used for explosions that the number of rounds you can buy should be limited and taxed to help pay for these events.

    I can’t do anything or I’ll lose my job and possibly face criminals charges. Please don’t let them get away with it. They won’t find the suspect till later this week and the raid is issued to occur on Friday. This was a staged event. The people hurt are real but the event was planned. Don’t let them hurt our rights.
