Stuff Going on Near Boston

Crazy stuff has been going on in the Boston suburbs. A police officer was shot multiple times on the campus of MIT and died from his injuries. Then a police chase broke out in nearby Watertown and at least one suspect was taken into custody. There were explosions, with reports that the police came under heavy fire. There was talk of people throwing sticks of dynamite from an SUV. Parcels were thrown into the street that the Bomb Squad had to deal with. The police and media were told to turn their cell phones off if “they wanted to live.” It could be related to the marathon bombings but no one can confirm that. There was one report that one of the suspects threw what looked like a pressure cooker bomb at a police officer. It’s impossible to piece everything together, but it’s clear that there has been a running battle in the suburbs that started at MIT. One of my early theories of this case was that the perpetrator(s) was a MIT grad student(s). I still have no idea if that is true.
