The nightly mayhem began, after a university police officer died in a shooting on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus in Cambridge late Thursday, state police spokesman Lt. Mark Riley said.
The MIT officer was responding to a disturbance when he was fired upon, according to the state district attorney's office. He sustained "multiple gunshot wounds."
State police and the FBI were called in after the shooting and found the campus policeman near Building 32 on MIT's campus. He was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the district attorney's office said.
Dozens of officers surrounded and cordoned off the building, known as the Stata Center, which houses computer science laboratories as well as the department of linguistics and philosophy, according to MIT's website.
The suspects involved in the Boston Marathon bombing have been confirmed to be the same suspects in this situation. They killed an MIT officer, and right now news is shaky due to the late hour. But there have been confirmed police reports of pipebombs. It is believed that one suspect is dead, but right now not much information is known.
This is some crazy **** guys, I'm terrified that this is happening again in Boston.

Even if the author is silenced, the performance is stopped, the story will not end.
Whether it's a comedy or a tragedy, if there is cheering, the story will continue on.
Just like the many lives.
For the us who are still in it and still in the journey, send warm blessings.
- We will continue to walk down this path until eternity.

The news outlets are a bit behind, but Boston police scanners are painting a very scary and intense situation in the city right now.
My thoughts are with Boston tonight. Be safe, everyone.
The first suspect has been killed. The second suspect (the white hat guy) has holed himself up in a commercial building. There have been reports of bombs similar to the pressure cookers used in the Boston Bombing in addition to pipe bombs.
SWAT teams have cornered the building. My thoughts go out to the citizens of Boston, I can only hope that there will be a swift and safe solution to the end of this situation

Reddit has a compiled list of events gleaned from the scanners. The situation right now is quite tense and I fear that the suspect is going to do something drastic with his back against a wall.
How strange it must be that the perpetrators, who might be or are connected with the Boston Race bombings, pop out and do something so lacking in subtlety. What a strange week it has been, what with the Boston Race bombings; West, TX explosions; the ricin letter attacks; and now this.
Anyway, my thoughts go out to the folks in Beantown and the folks on the other side of the Chuck River.

Im going to assume that what transpired tonight was the direct result of a diabolical plan gone awry. I would speculate that these 2 men planned to detonate their IED's as well as fire on students @ MIT tonight until the officer who was murdered began to question them or caught them in preparation of said act.

The reports aren't making a clear narrative here, but these events were set into motion when the two suspects carjacked someone in an attempt to flee the city. How that connected to the dramatic events of the past few hours (MIT shootout, police chase, grenades and bombs, dead policeman, etc) still isn't clear.
ETA: I'm mistaken. The initial event was a 7/11 robbery gone wrong, that's about when the MIT officer was shot and why the suspects jacked a car. Simply a ridiculous series of events straight out of a movie.

Well, I was lucky enough to be "tipped off" by a friend of mine in Boston who just so happened to be listening to his CB radio. So I've been following that for about 5 hours. According to those radio transmissions, some sort of explosive devices were hurled at police (IED's or possibly grenades). Normal people dont carry those or a plethora of firearms around.
And they were attempting to flee the city after murdering a police officer on the MIT campus. Compared to what ive heard on the police radio, news coverage has been shoddy at best
These are the names released by the BPD, so I think it's prudent to presume this.
Edit: Suspect #1 was seen putting down the bag by the man who is in the wheelchair on the picture where he is evacuated by, amongst others, a man wering a cowboy hat. Jeff Bauman (so the guy in the wheelchair) wrote the following almost as soon as he woke up: "Bag. Saw the guy. Looked right at me" according to his brother.
But it is not like the Police have been wrong before..... oh wait they have been on numerous occasions, just thinking about some the stories that circulated after Jean Charles Mendes was shot over here after 7/7.
Mikey is right until things have calmed down alot and there is enough time to do accurate investigations we should be taking pretty much everything that is coming out of Boston with a very healthy pinch of salt.

Released where? I caught the BPD press conference on MSNBC and no names were released. Nor has there been any mention of names in the Reddit stream of the scanner and related sources. Even just now, MSNBC is reporting that the suspects have not been positively identified and that the missing Brown student is not one of the suspects and is erroneously being labeled as one. Wouldn't be the first time the news has been behind (much like CNN has been all night), but I literally cannot find any official confirmation of the suspects' identities.
A few of you may know that I go to MIT. The officer was killed outside the building I work in, but I was already home. I could hear explosions from my home during the firefight in Watertown. All of Boston is shut down today, including all schools, businesses, and public transit. Vehicle traffic has been suspended in some neighborhoods, and residents in six communities (including mine) are being told to stay inside until further notice.
Two suspects:
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (19, Still on the run)
Tamerlan Tsarnaev (26, Dead)
Potentially a third suspect, a family member of those two.
Sunil Tripathi IS NOT A SUSPECT. He is a product of internet vigilante justice. Apparently he went missing from Brown and somebody thought he matched on of the profiles. The internet went with that, even though there was no actual evidence.
EDIT:
Events in order
-Robbed a SevenEleven
-Shot an MIT Officer in his car.
-Hijacked a car, took the owner of the car hostage. Released him.
-Car chase.
-Shoot out, older brother dies. Has a devise strapped to him. Younger brother flees, running over his dead brother.
So they seem to have been Turkish Chechnyan para-military fighters...

Don't you see that the whole aim of Moderators is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make infractions literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed, will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten.

One shot dead.
One in custody, had bomb on chest, suicided while in custody.
Another(?) still holed up, not sure could be the captured one.

Suspect #2, Sunil Tripathi, is still at large, as of right now.
These two are indeed the people responsible for the bombings.
This is apparently a more up to date picture of suspect #2, Sunil Tripathi taken what I believe is a gas station that he stopped at. Carjacking is indeed related, because this is where the car's owner, who was held hostage, escaped.

I've heard reports that those are not the suspects.
At this point, with no official channels confirming anything, I don't think it's prudent to presume much.

Here's an event map, to make some sense out of the events.
Twitpic on confirmed death of Watertown suspect here.
Edit: Focus shifted away from Sunil. Still missing, no longer a suspect.
New name has been issued: Dzhokar A. Tsarnaev.
Edit: Apparently, this has become a military operation.
info on Tsarnaev here.
Suspect #1 was likely his 20-year old brother, possibly pictured here.
Assorted stuff on Tsarnaev here.
See that? He's probably had "foreign military training."
Two suspects:
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (19, Still on the run)
Tamerlan Tsarnaev (26, Dead)
Potentially a third suspect, a family member of those two.
