by the suspect, hence the instruction everyone stay in your homes if you can because officers are going door-to-door right now. chris lawrence is at the campus of the university of massachusetts in dartmouth. actually had been registered there as a student. at this hour the campus is closed and controlled evacuation, those are the words. a controlled evacuation on the campus is underway. chris, what are you learning? you know, wolf, we re standing here basically surrounded by police. not only university of mass dartmouth police, but state police as well as well as local officials. and we re seeing just literally dozens and hundreds of students streaming off of the campus. we ve had a chance to talk to a few of them. one of the students said basically they got an e-mail earlier saying that the campus was on lockdown. then their r.a. started coming to their door door by door saying look, you ve got to go,
you ve got to evacuate the campus. and then we ran into a few students who are sitting outside the campus who say they know tsarnaev, that they went to high school with them. one of the young men we spoke with says he remembers tsarnaev being a wrestler. he said he thought he was in some advanced placement classes in high school. he said we weren t great friends, but he said i did know him back in high school. he said he was a good guy, never saw any signs of problems or anything like that. hadn t kept up with him too much in college, but said he had seen him around campus a bunch of times and was just pretty much blown away by the news that s come out in the last 24 hours or so. i think everyone seems to be shocked. chris, you re there, chris lawrence. in this type of a situation, once we begin to learn more and more and more, there may have been a public face for these two
jokes, but they weren t political jokes. he said the same thing. they were sort of pop culture jokes about music or actors, things like that that a lot of college students talk about. so i think that the image or at least the public image that i think is forming or that we re picking up here is that this was a fairly typical college kid if there is a such thing. chris lawrence at u. mass at dartmouth, thanks, chris. keep talking to his friends. i know so many of them are in disbelief. wolf, as we go through his twitter account, talk to his high school friends and college friends, we talk to his manager at the pool at harvard where he had a job, you know, everyone i can say again and again we just keep hearing disbelief, wolf. people can t believe many didn t know he had a brother and they can t believe this is the suspect. and they re on his twitter page now. he has tweeted since the
brothers, but clearly something was going on behind the scenes that very few if any of their friends or associates knew anything about. that s the picture you re getting over at the college campus where you are, right? by far, wolf. no one here that we ve been talking to had any sort of indication so far that something like this was even possible. a lot of the students here were sort of shocked to, you know, go from e-mail and web postings about, you know, this potential link. and then some of the students said they could see umass dartmouth police literally putting police tape around that dorm. they said they had a pretty good view of that. and they knew it was serious when they started to see state police officers and just the amount of police descending on their campus. many of them now are standing outside campus or have tried to call their parents, mom and dad,
to see if they can get picked up. some of them trying to call friends in the area to see if they can come stay with them because right now they re being told they can t go back on the campus. that university of massachusetts, dartmouth campus, how far is it from downtown boston, chris? took us about an hour. it s about an hour drive. maybe, you know, 50, 60 miles from boston proper. chris lawrence on the campus. chris cuomo is watching all of this unfold. let s just reset, chris. the younger brother, 19-year-old dzhokhar is on the loose right now. authorities believe maybe an associate is holed up in watertown, that s where deborah feyerick is and why the enormous military police presence is there. we ve been checking with them. we have them on the line. deb, what s the latest?
