The two suspects, according to authorities, then hijacked a car at gunpoint in Cambridge. They released the driver a half-hour later at a gas station.
As police picked up the chase, the car's occupants threw explosives out the windows and shot at officers, according to the district attorney's office.
Officers fired back, wounding one of the men, possibly the person identified by the FBI as suspect No. 1, who is seen in the images released Thursday in a dark cap, sunglasses and wearing a black backpack.
The man died at Beth Israel Hospital. He had bullet wounds and injuries from an explosion, according to officials. The second man apparently escaped on foot
Dead: Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26; still at large: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19

I don't get it, if the police were following both of them in the car, while they were shooting at them like they said, how can he get away? How many cruisers were following them? Plus if they are shooting back and throwing explosives, would this not be a "mayday" call sign for dispatchers to put out a ALL AVAIABLE POLICE to respond? If Boston is in Lockdown, what size of task force is in the city. It just doesn't make sense for him to get away? Especially when The Government said they knew who there are because they tracked them down hours later?
"Officers fired back, wounding Tamerlan Tsarnaev. He later died at Beth Israel Hospital. A source briefed on the investigation says Tsarnaev was wearing explosives and an explosive trigger when his body was recovered. His brother apparently escaped on foot."
How do they go from shooting him while in pursuit to him dying at hospital. Where is the full disclosure? there are wholes in the story, massive holes,edit on 19-4-2013 by whatzshaken because: updatesedit on 19-4-2013 by whatzshaken because: (no reason given)

I believe in the lower left, the Russian after "Salamworld" is translated as "My Religion - Islam", but I'd need a better speaker than I to confirm it.

This is the "newest" thread.
Looks like his family doesn't even want him.
His uncle, my new societal hero, is ashamed.
Hopefully, the people around will give his family their respect.

Check some of the ongoing threads, with folks monitoring scanners. It seems they are closing in perhaps...next few hours will likely see the suspect dead or caught.
