The original died on me too but this one that was linked after works

No I mean I'm listening to it, and nothing is happening unless I'm just completely missing something. You guys are making it sound like Fallujah. That's the same scanner Dabamf linked.

The first dude died I think right when I started listening to it, but that was 2 hours ago or something and I haven't heard any real progress since.

It was hardcore earlier when they vaporized the first perp. Now they think the 2nd guy has locked himself in some building.

Look at that Reddit link I posted...it has rolling updates.

We both kept posting the same shit at the same time so its not like were making shit up so I don't know what to tell you to be honest.

Well looks like this is the beginning of the end.

Odds on how this guy is going to go out?

Edit: From the MIT shooting to the part where the first suspect died shit was pretty intense. After that #2 just ran away and didn't do much but break in some building and trip some alarms.

I'm still on the one Fuze linked. We're certainly only hearing one channel of the chatter. It ain't the warmest right now, closing the cordon, house to house, etc. It was warmer before but I never heard shots fired calls or the like earlier.

Edit: All that being said I did hear reports over comms of auto gunfire, and grenades. Heard them call up EOD, call all cops to turn off cell phones, called up long guns, etc.

It'd be nice if they could bag him alive. I want to know what the hell is going on. Maybe his family can come talk him down from the ledge...

I'll reiterate my earlier speculation. I think the other kid had a bomb on him, and was willing to take out as many cops as he could with him. I think they're dealing with kids who are all in.

Think you're right, I don't know Boston PD's SOP but when I was a younger man and 20lbs lighter, if we made a dude strip to nothing, we suspected suicide vest.

I agree that he'll probably die. I don't think the cops could stop him, but maybe his family could.

Another thought: Wouldn't it be weird if he was reading this stuff on his phone right now?

If he's holding a gun in his hands and lacks a smoking hole in the back of his skull when they find him, his chest will suck up a mags worth of 9mm or 5.56.

State Police Colonel has the MIT cop dead, another cop wounded in critical condition from the when they exchanged shots with the suspects. From his briefing.

edit: The suspect still on the loose. Left image is from the 7-11 cam they robbed:

No way. Dude killed a cop, he's all in like someone said.
I think this is one of the few situations where the cops would prefer to take a cop killer alive. It's safer for their city that way. It's really important that they learn everything they can about these two guys.

Well if he is listening to a police scanner he knows the area they are focusing in on atm.

So it turns out these guys committed a gas station robbery earlier in the night.
Why do these people sound so stupid? If they can do a bombing like this despite the fact they are grade a morons what does it say about our law enforcement? I just don't even know what to believe any more.
