One suspect was shot dead in a firefight in the Watertown area, while another one remains on the loose, BPD Commissioner Edward Davis tweeted. The suspects are linked to the Boston Marathon bombing.
The firefight, which involved explosives, ensued after anMIT police officer was shot and killed on Friday morning, and fellow officers followed the lead of an apparent carjacking.
The killed suspect was wounded during the gun exchange with the police and was apprehended, police said. He later succumbed to the injuries.
The suspect remaining at large is the FBI’s Suspect 2 in the Boston Marathon bombing, the so-called ‘white hat suspect’. Police called the man a terrorist, who is armed and dangerous.
Unconfirmed reports citing police dispatch say the dead suspect had explosives strapped to his person and that the one on the run may have a similar device.
