developing story and still very much an active scene here. what we want you to know is they are searching some of the neighborhoods spruce street, hazel street. according to our crew there was a specific interest to number 14 hazel street. and at this point they are trying to find the suspect they describe as armed and dangerous. we want to let you know that there was a carjacking at some point in time after the mit shooting and before the police activity here, a mercedes suv. we are getting pieces of information and it has been this way all night. so many reports out there and rumors. we are working to confirm them all. one thing is for sure, police say if you encounter somebody you believe to be involved, do not try to apprehend them yourself. call 9-1-1. they are considered armed and dangerous. looking at the scene, you can just see what is going on. you can see cruisers down that way. you can see the police presence here as well. there is a lot of that going on. a lot of people are
i decided to come back after i was on the news. i don t know if it is connected. i might say the marathon or both. i don t know. what else did you see while you were there? you said police activity. any other areas they were focused or anything they were doing that caught your eye? it just seems like they were focused. foe qused on focused on spool and spruce. it looks like they are moving this way now. that is more heading toward cambridge. i know the area pretty well, but i have nod idea. i don t think anybody does. how common is it to see boston in watertown involved? you may see state police or transit police. most of the police i saw when i initially came were boston and state police. they were all over the place. probably a hundred officers on
yes, we are here and police are asking people to stay indoors unless you are like this gentleman who was caught in the middle of it. you are john and have lived in watertown for 40 years. how did it unfold? i was sitting at home a quarter of 1:00 and i was just checking the news on the computer and i heard it is uncommon for this area at this time of night. then i heard a second explosion and then a third explosion. i saw the police officers and i got in my car and drove down the road and saw state police, boston police and i took a turn to go home just to get out of the way and i got right in the middle of it. the state police and boston police were concentrated on spruce street. they were checking in the vehicles and on top of trucks and in backyards and so i had to leave my car there and wait down there for half an hour and they finally got me out of there.
behind sheds. they think the suspect is on foot rather than on vehicle. would you agree with that? it would seem that way. i think that seems to be the case. you can see all of the armed officers looking officer and looking everywhere for this guy. this video was shot a little bit ago, but this is what we are being told is continuing out there by our sources, but also our crews out on the field that are witnessing this continuing to happen all in that area. also i was speaking with bob ward last night about how likely it is what the normal time frame from when police released pictures how long it takes to identify who is in the pictures. he was talking about one of his cases where on a saturday they released the picture and by tuesday they made the arrest. so it is not uncommon in some of these cases where after police released those photos they are flooded with very valid tips. i know they have to sort through the ones that are bad
the timing is interesting. you know this guy has to be on the run and they need the public s help if they are releasing a new photo in the middle of the night. it is definitely interesting. you know we talk about coincidences. are there coincidences, but while it is unfolding we get another photo. are they putting it out there because they want people to get a clearer picture. that new picture is certainly, early is the clearest picture we have seen of both suspect number one and suspect number two. there you are looking at it right there. suspect number two on the left , the guy believed to be still on the run. we really can see his facial features and that is the clearest. the video released yesterday by all accounts was very good, and the pictures were very good. but this is really good. if you know who it is and even if you don t mow who it is if you see him you will know him. a way to find out when
