EDIT 29 7:20: "Check out -------." "Located an article of clothing that might have been worn by the suspect." Needs someone to collect it. RESPONSE: First priority is to search for suspect, then EOD, then collecting evidence.

EDIT 28 7:18: "The armored vehicle element has an option of rotating one personnel in a truck with a medic." "Reserve tactical team near Nathaniel Hall, all units high visibility."

EDIT 21 7:06: Techs said "item was a positive" moving to "phase 2"

EDIT 20 7:05: Requesting "delta detective" to return (sounded like guy at Arsenal, not sure though)

If /u/JpDeathBlade is already doing one let me know. I didn't see one so I thought I'd keep one up.

PART 4

EDIT 202 1:31: It's basically been a lot of officers telling each other where they are going and general communication. Nothing new.

EDIT 201 1:30: Conference starting, link below.

EDIT 200 1:26: Correspondent /u/potato_bus says another press conference is coming up.

EDIT 199 1:21: I have heard no updates on the old man with the dead switch or the location of White Hat. I am only listening to the scanner but I do check messages for info.

EDIT 198 1:20: Apparently the 'hostage' was frightened by a police officer with a gun.

EDIT 197 1:18: House with 'hostage' was clear.

EDIT 196 1:17: They made sure the situation from 185/177 is definitely clear.

EDIT 195 1:15: "Ambulance on the way to evaluate her."

EDIT 194 1:14: People are telling me they said the hostage is safe.

EDIT 193 1:11: They are calling for an ambulance to swing by. If something was said before it I missed it.

EDIT 191 1:10: A lot of garbled messages, SWAT is stepping in.

EDIT 190 1:08: Front door opened, "we have the message".

EDIT 189 1:07: Look if the hostage taker is reading reddit instead of listening to the scanner then he's screwing himself and we're helping the police.

EDIT 188 1:05: Attempting to contact hostage taker.

EDIT 187 1:02: Possible house with hostage located.

EDIT 186 1:00: Another suspicious package reported.

EDIT 185 12:57: Situation from EDIT 177 is clear.

EDIT 184 12:56: Possible hostage situation.

EDIT 183 12:55: "Everyone take cover. No more units."

EDIT 182 12:55: "A person is being held there by gunpoint."

EDIT 181 12:54: A man is trying to get through security but has no credentials.

EDIT 180 12:53: Woman is being held by a man with a gun

EDIT 179 12:53: Again, I don't know what the specifics of 173 are. I'm not holding out. They just started talking and then said 'we don't want this on the air' and then didn't talk about any specifics.

EDIT 178 12:51: Reports are coming in that the White House situation room has been activated. I'm looking up more now on that.

EDIT 177 12:47: They are following up on another lead similar to the open basement. Stuff has been moved since they last investigated the area. (Look, do I think white hat is reading this instead of just listening to the scanner? No, but i can be a little more vague when the detail doesn't matter.)

EDIT 176 12:42: About EDIT 173, I don't really know what it is. They aren't saying many details, they are checking on a vehicle, but other than that the only details are unit number and specific locations. Which is exactly what they asked not be posted. If something happens I'll post the aftermath. And this is the first time they specifically said on the scanner not to mention something on the air.

EDIT 175 12:40: They are checking on something but not being very descriptive.

EDIT 174 12:38: There will be a controlled explosion in Cambridge later in the day as a precaution.

EDIT 173 12:35: They just said something that they don't want on air. Don't write a comment about it.

EDIT 172 12:34: I'm still listening to the scanner and not the press conference so if anything new comes out in the conference please let me know.

EDIT 171 12:33: EOD team being sent to another location.

EDIT 170 12:29:/u/potato_bus posts link to upcoming press conference. Police are very concerned about the security for the conference, or rather, making sure it is as secure as possible.

EDIT 169 12:27: Open basement door that is being checked out.

EDIT 168 12:24:/u/potato_bus said that MyFoxBoston is reporting that the helicopters are part of the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team (HRT), they are not military.

EDIT 167 12:22: CNN is confirming that the link is his twitter account: https://twitter.com/J_tsar/

EDIT 166 12:17:/u/SolusLoqui posted a link to a Guardian photo album of Boston's deserted street. Still waiting on press area to be cleared apparently.

EDIT 165 12:15: As you've probably seen, military choppers have arrived. Also news networks are reporting on the same twitter I linked. I'm still leaving it down, but there are many cached pics of him.

EDIT 164 12:13: Press conference should be sometime soon.

EDIT 162 12:05: For those asking there have not been any recent updates on Suspect #2 (White Hat)

EDIT 161 12:02: Suspect is "clear", safe for EMS to approach him.

EDIT 160 12:01: Numerous people from different areas have reported loss of power. (Power outages were reportedly due to construction.)

EDIT 159 12:00:/u/greenlep posted a different link to a possible twitter for Suspect #2 (White Hat). Take it with a grain of salt, but looks more legit than the last one. REMOVED Cached profile pic was of Suspect #2 (White Hat) but it will stay removed until some source verifies it.

EDIT 158 11:56: Still working on the old suspect, no updates on his status.

EDIT 157 11:55: Apparently the "jumper" was not a person, but an area where a possible bomb may have been which explains why an EOD was sent to the location.

EDIT 156 11:52:/u/riothedragonman lives near the area where the jumper was reported and says everyone has dispersed.

EDIT 155 11:51: Someone asked, no update on hockey duffel bag drop off. No update on jumper.

EDIT 154 11:47: Four robots operating on the old man right now. No word on device or explosive.

EDIT 153 11:45: Press conference will begin soon, they are letting media with credentials enter the scene.

EDIT 152 11:44: One area that was previously being investigated is clear. Not the old man or jumper scene.

EDIT 151 11:39: Second bearcat is arriving at the original scene with the old man.

EDIT 150 11:35: They are doing police stuff that doesn't need to be reported.

EDIT 149 11:30: An EOD team is being called to the overpass, no specifics.

EDIT 148 11:28: Possible jumper on an overpass.

EDIT 147 11:26: Because it keeps getting asked. The suspect that is being searched by the EOD robots, that is handcuffed, that has the dead man switch, is a 60-70 yr old gray haired man. He was specifically identified as having salt and pepper hair, even the age 90 was thrown out. This is NOT White Hat aka Suspect #2

EDIT 146 11:24: Investigating possible sighting of suspect #2 at different location. (Most likely a false sighting, nothing else was said about this)

EDIT 145 11:23: Unknown car has stopped within a security perimeter.

EDIT 144 11:22: They said they need to bring in a second EOD robot and a second Bearcat (armored vehicle)

EDIT 143 11:19: EOD robot is still clearing the suspect. He will be interviewed after he is cleared.

EDIT 142 11:18: Officials are supposed to give any update some time soon.

EDIT 141 11:15: They are telling all non-SWAT to leave the area.

EDIT 140 11:14: Subject definitely has some kind of device or switch in his hand.

EDIT 139 11:11: EOD (explosive ordinance disposal) robot is attempting to remove the jacket from the man right now.

EDIT 138 11:07: Been silent, EOD is on scene.

EDIT 137 11:03: To further clarify, guy with the white hat has nothing to do with this (as far as we know). He is still on the loose. This suspect is an old man (60-70) with grey hair and appears to be holding a dead man switch.

EDIT 135 11:01: Negotiating with suspect (not white hat).

EDIT 134 11:00: Apparently EDIT 126/128 was not clear. This is not Suspect #2 aka White Hat.

EDIT 133 10:59: Guessing they are still waiting on EOD.

EDIT 132 10:53:Hearing "man down" in the background, asking about another location. Had two streams going and couldn't tell what was overlapping. Not true.

EDIT 132 10:52: Making attempts to block a possible blast.

EDIT 131 10:51: Suspect is shaking his head "no" and trying to arch his back up, speculating that he may be trying to do something with the device.

EDIT 130 10:47: He has something in his right hand that he holding. Last person had a dead man switch. (If someone lets go of a dead man switch it triggers the mechanism)

EDIT 129 10:46: Some people are saying they heard reports of a shot fired.

EDIT 128 10:45: Waiting on EOD to move further. Still no information on if the older man held at gunpoint has any relation to Boston Suspect #2. Has anyone heard how they originally found him or if he approached officers?

EDIT 127 10:44: Suspect is being held at gunpoint and is in handcuffs.

EDIT 126 10:40: Waiting on mod position. A different suspect may be found, may have transmitter on him. They are being cautious, white male, 60-70 yrs old. Brown jacket, device is in jacket.

EDIT 125 10:39: It has been brought to my attention that the Boston PD has been asking that people do not post information from the scanner online. As of now I will reduce updates only to information that either they want people to know (like the CRV info) or that can not compromise them at all. Or stuff that is already on national news, like the man being held at gunpoint.

EDIT 124 10:25: Some guy just dropped a hockey duffle bag by "Save the Harbor Save the Bay" and left, they are looking for him.

EDIT 123 10:24: You can stream this post to reduce the load on reddit. Updated to new post.

EDIT 122 10:22: Looking at a red Crown Victoria now.

EDIT 121 10:20: CRV was apparently found empty.

EDIT 120 10:18: They say they have or have seen some possible suspects who look Russian. "We have him with us." Not entirely sure the specific. I don't think it's the actual suspect, they were being too casual about it.

EDIT 119 10:15: Still looking for 1999 Grey Honda CRV License # 316 ES9 (thanks, sleepy dyslexia kicking in). Suspect is believed to be driving/in the vehicle.

EDIT 118 10:13: Pretty slow going right now. Just making sure everything is in order.

EDIT 117 10:07: Found a .40 caliber round casing. Said it was in "pristine condition." Found some distance from shootouts, said it looked like it might be one of theirs.

EDIT 116 10:06: Whew, start of hour 4...

PART 7

EDIT 317: 7:31PM Want to keep updating everyone each minute. Still radio silence. Completely dead on the radio.

EDIT 316: 7:30PM Two choppers in the air (according to whatever news station I have on TV - NOT THE SCANNER) with infrared cameras.

EDIT 315: 7:29PM Still mumblings about dogs and weapons, no brand new information. Still attempting radio silence for the TAC squads.

EDIT 314: 7:28PM Suspect is in the boat and he has a wire fence behind him. Trying to decipher chatter here as quickly as I can. Sorry if I miss something.

EDIT 313: 7:27PM One friendly is "a little too close" to the boat. Asking them to leave.

EDIT 312: 7:26PM "Suspect prone" Not sure if I heard that right. There is still movement in the back of the boat.

EDIT 311: 7:26PM They are attempting to come up with an official dog to track down the suspect in case he gets out of the boat. FBI dog versus BPD dog? I pick the FBI dog.

EDIT 310: 7:25PM Tactical folk trying to get up on a wall for either entry or line of sight. They have a K9 unit on hand as well.

EDIT 309: 7:23PM "Clear the air. Let's maintain radio silence." "OK boss, we're in the house."

EDIT 308: 7:22PM "Keep going dispatch, you guys are doing a great job."

EDIT 307: 7:22PM All non-tactical policemen are asked to leave the area. Those with the best weapons are in place and they want them to have the best view of the incident.

EDIT 306: 7:21PM This post filled in while I was gone. THANK YOU!

EDIT 286: 7:19PM The backyard has been cleared of all officers and civilians in case of crossfire. Apparent standoff situation - will continue to update quickly. The scanner is very busy.

EDIT 285: 7:17PM If the boat is in fact opened, officers are to be wary of crossfire. EMS is being called. Passerbys are advising multiple people are running. Unsure if they are civilian or not. EDIT 284: 7:16PM All non-essential officers are being asked to set up a perimeter. They are ripping off something...not sure what. I think he is hiding in a boat. EDIT 283: 7:16PM Garage is clear. I have a scanner up and I will update by the moment from here on out until the conclusion.

EDIT 282: 7:15PM Shots fired. Suspect possibly down. Ambulance being backed in. "All police officers form all commands in the rear of that white garage behind the house need to move. You are in the line of fire."

EDIT 281: 7:14PM Stupid traffic...sorry guys. Police and FBI have tracked down a car. Shots fired at 7:09. EOD on scene. EDIT 280: 6:49PM Since the scanners aren't working for me here at work, I'm going to go rush home and see if I can get them back up there. 10-15 minutes, I promise.

EDIT 279: 6:46PM Reports of a suspect in custody. No description, name, location, or anything else. I can not even hint at it being the primary suspect.

EDIT 278: 6:45PM I have been sent a recording of the potential high speed chase by /u/That_Urks_Me and it seems as plausible as the other scanner audio I have found. Thank you to everyone that has sent me scanner links, I think I have one that is working for now. EDIT 277: 6:42PM Mention of a possible runner. (This was potentially of a recorded audio - apologies)

EDIT 276: 6:40PM Unconfirmed reports of high speed chase matching a vehicle description. My scanners are all down so I think it's a good time for me to run home and find a new one. Staying for a little while longer in case something happens.

EDIT 275: 6:37PM Delayed edit from 6:32 from /u/extrasweettea "Male on bike wearing all black with curly hair seen on bike going towards central square with large backpack.. Units deployed."

EDIT 274: 6:34PM My scanner went down so I'm looking for a new one. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM POSTING SCANNER LINKS. Also, I will be heading home soon from work so I will be out of updates for about 15 minutes. I will let you know when I leave and when I get back

EDIT 273: 6:28PM More questions about civilians entering the streets and how to handle the situation. Questions about traffic patterns and allowable areas are being discussed.

EDIT 272: 6:24PM Possible sighting of the suspect in [REDACTED]. Police are sending units to investigate.

EDIT 271: 6:23PM Police on [REDACTED] street say that federal agents and other agencies are falling back and the perimeter is getting sparse.

EDIT 270: 6:18PM Delayed edit from 6:12 from /u/extrasweettea "Vehicle was left with clerk after being given $20 to park it in unknown parking lot. Was told someone would come by at 10 to pick it up. No keys were left."

EDIT 269: 6:16PM Suspicious knapsack found. EOD requested. Unsure of location but I believe Watertown.

EDIT 268: 6:15PM Police are seeing people leaving their houses and requesting how to act. Police recommended to stand down and continue breaking down the perimeter but stay on alert.

EDIT 267: 6:13PM Breaking down the perimeter. Police are asked to stand down (in shifts) and head back to the staging area for rest and debriefing.

EDIT 266: 6:10PM Public transit is back open and the "stay indoors request" has been lifted.

EDIT 265: 6:09PM Drawing back TAC teams, stepping up police patrol in Watertown. "Commited to a conclusion" but no arrests as of yet.

EDIT 264 6:04PM: Backpack possibly containing umpire equipment. Could be separate suspicious package.

EDIT 263 6:03 PM: Requesting officers over 18 hours to once again be replaced.

EDIT 262 5:58 PM: Backpack spotted in metal box. EOD and K9 team requested. No information about location (eg. Boston/Cambridge etc.)

EDIT 261 5:57 PM: [Slight Meta] The scanner has calmed down, so updates might be sparse for a little bit.

EDIT 260 5:55 PM: They are still searching the perimeter. About "6 streets" to go.

EDIT 327: 7:42PM He is sitting up again.

EDIT 328: 7:42PM He is in the center of the boat.

EDIT 329: 7:43PM He is inside the stern (I think i heard wrong)

EDIT 330: 7:44PM Bearcat needs front floods on for light. They don't want to light up the boat just yet.

EDIT 331: 7:44PM They don't want to shine light on the boat till they get guys on it. Dis-organised teams right now, need to do things slow.

EDIT 332: 7:45PM "Reporting fire or flame on boat"

sorry, hit mute on my stream

EDIT 333: 7:46PM FBI launching FDD. Flash bang. [Not sure if they did, radio silence]

EDIT 334: 7:47PM "Maintain radio silence.. do not return fire"

EDIT 335: 7:49PM 'Bearcat. Back it up.'

EDIT 336: 7:50PM "Flash bangs out".."No movement from subject"

EDIT 337: 7:51PM 'Obstruction. Stand by sir. Open door to garage?'..They have a k9

EDIT 342: 7:56PM "No movement"

EDIT 343: 7:58PM "Negative movement"

EDIT 344: 8:01PM They are negotiating I believe. [Not sure]

EDIT 345: 8:04PM [Possibly unrelated] A car taking an exit somewhere.

EDIT 346: 8:06PM Movement. I think they need spot light assistance.

take everything i say from this point on with a grain of salt, as it is very difficult

EDIT 347: 8:08PM Someone wants to light up the boat. The request is denied because they have to move there men. 'FBI wants the sun on that(boat)'

EDIT 348: 8:09PM "Hold on those lights"

EDIT 349: 8:10PM "Light the boat up with the night sun". 'Two cars someone has an eye on'

EDIT 350: 8:10PM "15 minutes". I'm guessing 15 minutes till lights come on.

EDIT 351: 8:12PM Helicopter feed. Omg, he just said its broadcasted on the internet. Helicopter is terminating the down link. "You cant code the downlink-Neagative"

EDIT 352: 8:14PM Media coming in from parker street.

EDIT 353: 8:16PM Helicopter needs fuel. [Not sure]

EDIT 354: 8:16PM Cops in plain cloths need help.

EDIT 359: 8:29PM [Unrelated] Multi car accident.

I'm going to stop posting now, as I just realized there is a new thread.

PART 8

EDIT 362: 8:33PM Please continue to keep the comments slow or stop them completely. It will help this page load quicker. Officers discussing tactical movements that I will again not discuss.

EDIT 361: 8:30PM I am currently on the Rt.9 scanner (NO LINKS PLEASE) and looking at the Eastern Mass scanner. 'H4' apparently is apparently the Boston based command post.

EDIT 360: 8:29PM An ambulance is blocking something, EMS is coming to move it. New scanner is still trying to load so I'll keep it going. Asked again to keep chatter to a minimum. The scene sounds tense, but under control.

EDIT 359: 8:26PM Officers asking for cold water. I'm looking at a new scanner right now so we'll see if that is more active.

EDIT 358: 8:25PM Police told to stay at their post until 2100. Not sure what will happen at 9:00PM but they will fall back to "H4"

EDIT 357: 8:23PM Chatter about a larger perimeter perhaps beyond the smaller one. Talking about offramps and highway codes.

EDIT 356: 8:22PM I am still on the BPD scanner, and it is quiet on that end. More open mic comments.

EDIT 355: 8:19PM Still see imaging in the boat - from what I heard a bit ago but wanted to update. Suspect is still in the boat. TV broadcast speculating he's been in the boat for quite some time.

EDIT 354: 8:19PM People jumping over the gate in the back. Possibly officers, assuming tactical squad. Not a lot of background on that statement to give.

EDIT 353: 8:16PM Apparently the downlink is the video - not the scanner. I am just writing what I hear as quickly as possible and not filtering what I hear. There are officers looking for help with keeping the population off the streets.

EDIT 352: 8:15PM Asking for a new, tighter perimeter to be placed. Discussing street names and a large media contingent. I will not post street names but they are closing the box around the house.

EDIT 351: 8:14PM The BPD is talking about how the downlink is being thrown on the internet. They might shut it down. They are concerned about it being broadcast and are possibly moving channels. Once more pass with the chopper before it refuels.

EDIT 350: 8:13PM Possibly the main issue with the sun moving to the boat is that it is on the helicopter.

EDIT 349: 8:11PM The main issue with the boat seems to be the fuel on board. They are not sure if the suspect has anything flammable on him that can ignite the fuel onboard. More discussion about tactical movements that I will not discuss.

EDIT 348: 8:10PM Another request to put the "night sun" on the boat. Still met with some resistance.

EDIT 347: 8:09PM Still discussing safety issues with lighting up the boat. Also, I get it, I'm an idiot for the flameless paper. I don't need another 100 people telling me, I already read the first 75.

EDIT 346: 8:08PM "The FBI would like you to put the sun on the boat. Take all precautions if you can't do it." "OK Standby"

EDIT 345: 8:07PM "Can you light up the boat?" "That is a negative sir, that will give away our location." "Light up the boat!" "We cannot sir, we cannot."

EDIT 344: 8:05PM "We have movement. Arms are moving. Repeat, we have movement." Requesting flood light assistance now from the side. Unsure what changed.

EDIT 343: 8:04PM I've been told by everyone that it's flameless OC paper, like tear gas I guess. That seems to be the consensus...apparently I'm typing too quickly here.

EDIT 342: 8:03PM I want to apologize again for the mixup between thread 7 and thread 8. There is still little talk over the radio. Apparently it's freaking snowing outside my window...GO HOME CHICAGO WEATHER! YOU'RE DRUNK! Really...no radio chatter on my feed.

EDIT 341: 8:02PM ATF is negotiating with someone, unsure about what. First mention I've heard of ATF all evening.

EDIT 340: 7:59PM Talking about flameless copy paper? No idea why...maybe they're trying to refill their cash register. Humor over and out. Still nothing new to report. Asking about TAC communication with the FBI.

EDIT 339: 7:59PM Asking how the long rifles are holding up. First mention of potential sniper cover. Can't confirm, but it seems a part of the TAC squad.

EDIT 338: 7:58PM Still negative movement. Suspect on his back in the boat without movement.

EDIT 337: 7:57PM Discussing a changeover for something. Potentially the chopper or possibly the TAC squads. Unsure at the moment - will update with info.

EDIT 336: 7:56PM No further movement. News stations reporting blood on the boat. Nothing about blood on the scanner.

EDIT 335: 7:56PM Officers asked to shut off lights on cruisers. Unsure why. They're slowly being shut down. Still no movement. No more flashbangs or shots fired at the moment.

EDIT 334: 7:55PM Discussion of a plan. Plan not mentioned over scanner. Using codes and allusions to talk about the plan.

EDIT 333: 7:54PM All quiet on the scanner.

EDIT 332: 7:53PM Negative on the fire confirmed by the chopper. Still no movement from the top.

EDIT 331: 7:52PM Negative on the fire on the boat. From tactical vantage point, no fire on the boat. negative on movement, another flashbang requested.

EDIT 330: 7:52PM News outlets reporting "pop pop" noises. Those would be the flashbangs. Inquiry about the fire on the boat has been posted. Awaiting a response.

EDIT 329: 7:50PM Flash bang hit forward of the subject. No movement from the subject by confirmed hit of flashbang.

EDIT 328: 7:50PM Still radio silence. Fire on the boat appears to be confirmed by scanner, still unsure. Also, I have a working scanner everyone...thanks for the messages though but they slow my load time. FLASHBANGS OUT

EDIT 327: 7:49PM Boston BEARCAT asked to back up as they need access to something. Not sure what.

EDIT 326: 7:48PM All units asked for radio silence once more. Told to not return fire as another flash bang is being fired into the center of the boat. (Sorry again for the mess up with threads everyone)

EDIT 325: 7:46PM FBI shooting off a flashbang. Everyone told DO NOT RETURN FIRE.

EDIT 324: 7:45PM Possible fire on the boat. Unsure of the origin but there is a possible fire on the boat. There is a tac team with a Bearcat waiting to move in but there are currently conflicting plans.

EDIT 323: 7:44PM Sorry for the confusion. I got locked out of /r/news for a little bit. "We do NOT want to light up the boat. Not lights on the boat please."

EDIT 322: 7:43PM He is on the boat. Center mass is leaned towards the fence line. He is inside the stern - or maybe the gastank is inside the stern. Half full tank with 20 gallons of fuel. Unsure if the suspect is trying to get to it.

EDIT 321: 7:42PM Confirmed movement in the boat from multiple sources. Confirmed movement in the boat.

EDIT 320: 7:40PM There is a full tank on the boat. 20 gallons of fuel on the boat. Helicopters overhead say there is movement in the boat. Asking for spotlights on the boat.

EDIT 319: 7:40PM There is quite a bit of movement in the boat. He is sitting up and moving.

EDIT 318: 7:39PM SORRY! It wouldn't let me make a new post in /r/news so I had to make one here. I don't know why.

EDIT 317: 7:32PM They are working to meet up around the back of the house. They almost have the top of the boat ripped off.

PART 9

EDIT 384: 8:56PM Everyone is clearing out and finalizing movement out. I am going to believe that the suspect is alive at the moment as they continue to refer to him "in custody" rather than "deceased". Just my personal opinion and that means nothing. They are currently organizing the return of all weapons to the appropriate jurisdictions. I think we're all done here. "Good job boys."

EDIT 383: 8:55PM "APP TO ALL BOSTON POLICE - WE HAVE OUR SECOND SUSPECT OF THE BOSTON MARATHON BOMBING IN CUSTODY - REPEAT - THE SECOND SUSPECT IS IN CUSTODY."

EDIT 382: 8:53PM Thanks is going around to the TAC squads, the FBI, the dispatch, everyone seems to feel this part of the ordeal is over.

EDIT 381: 8:52PM "Great job"

EDIT 380: 8:51PM Every suspect is being questioned, not sure who else they have to question but possibly witnesses or others detained during the investigation. The FBI and the police are meeting to discuss transport I believe.

EDIT 379: 8:50PM Officers are continuing to the sweep the area.

EDIT 378: 8:49PM All residents being asked to return back to their houses to clear the street. Potential helicopter lift for the suspect. Unsure once again. Apologies for waffling. Asking to clear the street for the "victim". Don't know what to make out of that.

EDIT 377: 8:48PM Suspect is once again confirmed in custody. That makes me feel he is still alive, if only barely.

EDIT 376: 8:47PM Confirmed once more - suspect is in custody. Conflicting reports about suspect being dead and suspect being treated by an EMS. I will not make any claims to either point. They are still calling an ambulance.

EDIT 375: 8:46PM Cheers from the crowd heard as scanners reported they have the man in custody. WE HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS IS THE 19 YEAR OLD WHITE HAT.

EDIT 374: 8:45PM I am still on local Boston scanner and can't get the Eastern Mass one to work but it appears they have him in custody.

EDIT 373: 8:44PM Local Boston media reporting suspect is captured and alive, medic on route.

EDIT 372: 8:43PM Probably not about the suspect in the boat - talking about the EOD unit in Watertown.

EDIT 371: 8:43PM Suspect might be about the black bag. No clues.

EDIT 370: 8:42PM "MEDIC! MEDIC!" Chilling cry.

EDIT 369: 8:42PM Suspect in custody but NO ONE INSIDE OF PERIMETER

EDIT 368: 8:40PM Media was ordered off the roof, not Police. My apologies. I also forgot to turn off post replies going to my inbox...fail...

EDIT 367: 8:39PM Abandoned black bag outside in the city of Boston. Not located near the episode going on. It is actually in Watertown not Boston. Proceeding EOD.

EDIT 366: 8:39PM Asking all police in the outer perimeter to hold fast and be prepared.

EDIT 365: 8:38PM 110 comments in 2 minutes... /facepalm

EDIT 364: 8:36PM Talking about grabbing rifle shields and meeting up with FBI TAC. Police have been ordered off the roof, not sure why.
