I don't think he can possibly be on the road at this point. If I wanted to hide out somewhere near where I live I can think of a few places that I could hide for hours or days where no one could find me. This thing may go on until he is forced to search for food and water. I wonder if they took any supplies from the 7-11?

I suspect (no pun intended) he'll be caught within a few hours. They appear to have had no plan, based on thinking they were anonymous (wrong) and resuming their normal activities, and when their photos were released, panicking and carjackig to try to escape. The yonger brother is the only one left and appears to have no real chance to get away.

It should be obvious that the measures would not help in this case.

It's not. Just seems likely. Did they have anything in their history a background check would have blocked their buying guns? Did they buy any? Did they steal any that wouldn't have been available to steal with stronger measures? We don't know for sure at this point. It sounds likely they got guns by killing the officer and taking his.

They had at least one gun that they used on the officer.

Yeah these guys arent geniuses. they didnt bother to hide or escape or anything until they were almost caught.

So, after the gun fight in Watertown, what happened to the suspect? Did he drive off in a SUV? The SUV has been recovered? Still appears they're still scouring the local area in Watertown for him and say that he's possibly back in Cambridge.

Anybody know the answer to this? How did he get away with so many police in pursuit?

They probably thought they got away when the internet started targeting the wrong individuals. So I guess in some sick twisted way, something good may have come out of the internet witch hunt and spreading of misinformation. :\

Daily Mail (great source) says that he plowed through a cordon of cops with a car after his brother got killed.

Considering that the shootout may have just started, probably a few cops just stopped and didn't set up a perimeter, so all he had to do was get past that small group.

Now WBZ is saying they might not have been the robbers at the 7-11? Still unverified.

They say 60% of the area they're going door to door in Watertown has been completed. Hopefully, he's in that search area and get's caught soon.

Same.

Apparently these guys had youtube videos out (the older brother had more) of jihadists and al Qaeda and kill Americana and Jews and Christians and blah blah blah. Looks like they're jihadists. Fuckers.

I hadn't heard that. Where is if from? Any links to the vids?
 
Ignore if already posted.

CNN said that the younger one was a naturalized American citizen. Makes it even more inexplicable to me.

I wonder at what percent do they start to worry they missed him. Can you imagine having 95% of the area completed and thinking they couldn't have possibly be this unlucky to have this kid be in the last 5% of the area?
