I am completely AMAZED that I cannot find this being reported and reported and reported on the MSM...I've checked every single station, CNN, FOX you name it. All I'm seeing are interviews and reports on the Marathon Bombings and the Plant Explosion in TX....

The media is usually right on top of these events, MISREPRESENTING the facts and reporting everything incorrectly as fast as humanly possible and for whatever reason, THIS is completely being ignored. To be honest if it weren't for being on ATS right now, I would have absolutely no idea what was going on. Obviously this isn't just your everyday shooting or carjacking. WTH

I wonder if the MSM was told to hold off on any reporting while the events are still fluid.
Maybe fears of activating other cells or anything like that?
Then again we don't know 100% that this is related to the bombing.

I think they mentioned having the second at gunpoint. But the officers want it verified.

Missing officer had been found.

Officer was located.

Our MSM here in Brisbane, Australia has it on the front page Reports of gunshots at major Boston University

I don't know what to say, having read the last 13 pages, it's almost all beyond belief. Some days you kind of wish ATS would get a little interesting - This week I wish I'd not ever thought that, my thoughts are with you guys over the pacific.

Finally going on cable news. CNN

I have a relative in Cambridge..I called and texted, no answer. Probably on floor praying.

They might have shut down cell service to the area so that the bad guys can't communicate or detonate anything else.

Yes, Skype source is on the scene. There's lots of confusion, sorry my updates are coming in in just as confused as the the scene is chaos.

Feds are enroute to Watertown now to take command of the situation. State Police holding perimeter now. (Mass State Police Scanner)

Homeland security showed up

Oh man...DHS on site.

Calling in the K-9 and helo to check out the abandoned vehicle for hiding suspects or devices. (Mass State Police Scanner)

Cops have largely left this area and run further toward alleged explosions/shootout. Maybe trying to get people away from the scene ??

It looks like it is the bombers or people related to the bombers. Why else would they all those weapons like IED and grenades and rifle?

No offense but you being an ATS member, you should be fully aware that mainstream media will only report what they're told to report (well you don't have to be an ATS member to know that but c'mon man, lol) ... simple as that, unfortunately.

It's on CNN now.

It's an active situation. People being told to remain in doors.

Got the second suspect...retracted..the vehicle...searching still

I Love the place...ATS does it best....LIVE LINK TO SCANNER
