responders and some other tactical forces could arrive, because they want to overwhelm him in terms of numbers but also get protective gear and heavier gear in the event there are explosives. i believe we are going to show the boat from our affiliate actually can t see it in that shot. i think it s way back at the end of the driveway there. you can see it. looks almost like a a small shot of it. small shot of it there. there s still a lot to learn obviously about whether there are other people involved in this operation, whether or not they had some sort of help, logistical help, operational help. we simply don t know. what is interesting, jeff, i would love your perspective on it, for two people, two individuals who seem to have cased out the bombing site, planned this out with some level of planning, they don t seem did not seem to have much of an end game. they did not seem to have an escape route or money or a plan. exactly. you know, we talked about this a little the
enforcement officials have confirmed to her they have verified the identity. it is the younger brother, suspect number two, in custody. it is now they say federal officials verified the identity and have no doubt. as i said earlier, a federal official i communicated with said in custody, unspecified medical needs and they are now sweeping that scene to make sure there are no additional risks. brian todd is standing by. brian, what are you seeing, what did you see go down? anderson, we just observed the scene from a rooftop probably 500 yards away from the backyard area. it had calmed down but we did see police activity in the backyard. flashlights moving around, a police chopper had returned to the scene. it visibly calmed down. they were not floodlighting the boat anymore but they did have a dimmer light on it and police and possibly vehicles had come to the back area. there seems to be some kind of alleyway or something behind that house. so we did see that activity from a roofto
several hours ago that police did confirm they found a number of homemade, described as homemade explosive devices in various scenes in watertown, where the exchange of gunfire had been and explosives, correct? that s right. they haven t been precise about that, in terms of defining what they meant by that, but clearly, it would include all the homemade pipe bombs. susan, i got to interrupt. i want to go to brian todd. brian, what are you hearing? anderson, we are on a rooftop, i can t say where it is. we have a visual on the boat. [ inaudible ] too far away to hear. we do have a visual brian todd, i don t know if we can t hear you, brian. i don t know if you re on the
as we re standing here at this corner, waiting to see what is going to happen next. we re trying to check in with all our people all throughout the region, trying to get as many eyes on this as possible. brian todd is standing by on the phone. brian, what are you witnessing and hearing? anderson, we are behind the house on franklin street, some distance away, probably 300 yards away from a boat in a backyard that s being floodlit by law enforcement officers. they are yelling loudly to someone either in the boat or near it, come out, i just heard them say come out on your own terms. we also heard them say come out with your hands up. we got a little bit closer than we are now before we were waved away by law enforcement officers. we are being told now we have to cut out of here but we have a clear view of a boat that seems to be shrink-wrapped in some plastic, where they are focusing lights and we can hear officers
the police. they rushed toward us when we were about i d say between 200 and 300 yards away. we re not able to get a visible sign of it right now but we re trying to move into some position where we can. what we did see was the floodlit boat. we could hear officers yelling loudly at the person who was apparently inside. what my team and i heard was come out on your own terms, come out with your hands up. they would alternate floodlighting the entire boat, a couple of times, just for a few seconds, they would floodlight the entire backyard, then they would leave it dark for a few seconds. it was kind of sporadic. but at that point, we had police rushing toward us telling us to push back because we were in the cross-fire area. so about how far now are you from the location of the boat? i d say we re probably 400 to 500 yards away from it.
