Breaking News From Boston

Things are developing rapidly in Boston this morning in relation to the Marathon Bombing suspects identified yesterday.  The hunt for the Boston bombers developed quickly and violently this morning, NBC News reports:

With a bomb strapped to his chest, one of the Boston Marathon suspects was killed early Friday after he and his accomplice robbed a 7-Eleven, shot a police officer to death, carjacked an SUV and hurled explosives out the window in an extraordinary firefight with law enforcement, authorities told NBC News.

The second suspect — the one in the white hat in photos released by the FBI — was on the loose, and police ordered people in the Boston suburb of Watertown to stay in their homes and businesses not to open. Boston shut down its buses and subway system for the hunt.

The suspects are brothers with the last name Tsarnaez, law enforcement officials told NBC News. Two law enforcement officials told NBC News that both men had international ties, had been in the United States about a year, were in their early 20s and had military experience.

The  MIT police officer killed this morning in the firefight has been identified as 26 year old Sean Collier.  Boston area residents have been asked to stay home and indoors as the active manhunt progresses.  Law enforcement is sweeping an area in Watertown searching for the second suspect identified as Dzhokhar Tzarnaev,19, a Chechen resident of Cambridge  who is on the run at this moment.  All MBTA transit is shut down and the city is at a standstill as this situation develops.  The live streaming feed from CBS News is below.
