  one station reporting one suspect is dead and another is in custody. State Police says there may be more suspects on the loose.

  This is getting confusing. I don't want them dead...yet. I wanna hear why from them.

  I didn't want to get too excited....but that heavily armed, makes sense it would be the bombers looking to get a car to get out of dodge.
  
  Also could be related suspects and not the actual two bombers we've seen pics of.

  I agree, that heavily armed this is no "ordinary" shooting and car jacking.

  So, first guy that was on video on the ground was released, had nothing to do with it. 1 suspect now reported dead and looking for a white male with a grey hoodie, armed and dangerous.

  "White suspect with grey hoodie should be considered armed and extremely dangerous. Possibly with an assault rifle and explosives." -police

  I don't doubt that it will be politicized, but lets wait and see. Doubt background checks matter to people like this.

  according to scanner "suspect still outstanding is the party in the white hat from Boston Bombing pictures"

  official statement from FBI is basically no comment
  
  Crazy thing is it sounds like this all started with a disturbance call. Poor cop just doing his job, no idea what he rolled up on.
• Midstate01

  

  @GarrettQuinn saying they have another in custody. And they are parading him around taking pictures.
• tk421

  

  second man in custody

  pretty common actually
• se-alum

  

  ABC saying they cannot confirm Marathon bomber in custody.
• Midstate01

  

  @stoolpreidente: Shocker: Suspect 2 is Sunil Tripathi
  
  
  If true...wow!!!!! Means those people on reddit nailed it today.
• gut

  Fox reporting FBI says suspect in custody is NOT one of bombing suspects.
• karen lotz

  

  looking for another suspect, explosives were used against a Mass Transit officer

  scanner feed cut out, either overloaded or cut off to prevent information leak
• gut

  is it possible that cop just stumbled onto another cell bugging out?
  
  Or maybe there were more than 2 people, and these guys aren't who we've seen but still part of it.
