i think you are referring to sean o brien who is a firefighter in boston. a great firefighter. great guy. i always describe that scene when the bomb went off, the guys from ladder 7 from the nearest fire station to the area were actually admonishing a bunch of college kids who put a hibachi barbecue on a porch overlooking the marathon scene to shut it down. then they heard the bombs. one of the upton had just done three tours as a marine in afghanistan. when he heard it, he knew it was a bomb. he said, bomb. they ran around the corner. another marine tommy hughes was with them from ladder 7. sean o brien ran around the corner from ladder 7 and he came
kated the man that was charged. it is very early. i m getting the breaking news as i m speak to you is these suspects are now in the custody of the fbi. game change again. it is very important. there are three or four ways this could be relevant. it could be these are people who know about whether or not the older brother was trained in russia, know about any connections between foreign sources, it could be people who helped them escape after the fact. it could be people at the scene. they showed a picture the other day of a somebody at the marathon scene of somebody that may have been involved as well. until we know more about the way these people are involved, we won t be able to fill in the puzzle. i want to interrupt for one moment.
really 20 hours in boston it was 11:00 a.m. thursday that we had the prayer service with the president who offered very moving remarks and it was about five hours after that that authorities relieved photos of the two suspects, close-up photos of the two guys in the hats and really it was just a few hours later on thursday evening when there was a 10:30 p.m. shooting at mit that turned out to be the shooting that wounded a police officer. i was at that scene quickly afterwards and there was a lot of police presence. almost as much as you could possibly imagine just crewsers lining the street in both directions cordoned off a big area and dozens and dozens of crewse cruisers and an hour i was there they started racing a different direction which was unusual and we found out that was because of the carjacking. i followed some of the cruisers past the site where they dropped
to give you an idea of what people in these communities are waking up to this morning. this is a photograph taken by a woman in watertown, massachusetts, named shawna england. she sent this out. she is looking out the window of her home as you can see two law enforcement agents in s.w.a.t. gear on the shed in her backyard. oh, my lord. that is the scene right now in these bedroom communities as mike barnicle described them just west of the city. mike, i don t know if you can see these photographs. i do. what a scene. yeah, willie. mike isikoff reported that there is activity now norfolk street in cambridge. if we get that map that we had up earlier in the region. the map where the marathon bombing took place and cambridge is misleading in the ge geography we are talking about small and congested.
watertown abuts cambridge and norfolk street is not that far from auburn street and not that far from the arsenal mall where there is a collection of military and police vehicles gathered. it s a very, very small, very congested area which, again, lends to the degree of difficulty involved here in law enforcement trying to apprehend the suspect. the worry i m just thinking now of all the possibilities. the worst being that he slips away. the question i wonder when police were confronting them if there was any sighting of him. might he also have explosives attached to his body? this man is so dangerous that law enforcement officials, the military, everybody on the scene have no choice but to completely lock down the area and stop people in the tracks of that i lives. a man wearing the ied on his body as the first suspect as did he when he died is not afraid to
