it was quite an ordeal. there is an overwhelming sense in the entire town? yeah. i think so. we just grabbed him off the street here because he is walking down. i just have to believe that it is not just a sense of relief for watertown. did this suspect somehow allude the authorities? leave this area and where might he have gone? and you know, this was as they said at the very beginning, with the very first announcement made in the investigation, this cowardly act of people putting bombs at the finish line of the boston marathon and killed children and wounded innocent people who gathered for what is one of the highlight of new england. this and fourth of july. what is the sense of relief for you and do you have the desire to know why? they have taken him into
at that point i was intending to go to last night s scenes in watertown. when i went it cover it, my car ended up inside the perimeter. i couldn t get it out. i figure once they lifted the shelter in place order, i could get it. no sooner had i stepped out of my house than just a scream of police cars and ambulances headed toward watertown. and very quickly i started to get reports after suspect under a boat. it seems to be that is still where he is. seth, can you tell us the distance of where last night s shootout happened and where we think the suspect is currently pinned don with the boat in the backyard? are those close to each other? yes, they are very close. one of the things that s a little bit confusing about this area is that unlike manhattan,
i pass it maybe everyday. it is close to my house. but i don t know the people that live there. it appears from report we ve received that the initial tip-off that suspect might be in there was a very observant person spotting some blood on the boat which is what it appears tripped off the chain of event. vent / that led to this. boston pd confirming his presence there. right if you we are looking at live shots of watertown. our cameras cannot, of course for very, very, very good reason, get close enough to bring you a live shot of what is happening that very moment. but we do know, we have been told, that the suspect number two is believed by law enforcement officials to be pinned down in the boat in the backyard of watertown, massachusetts. farrah, are you still there?
and lots of vehicles and it s all to obtain or apprehend one guy. you are seeing massive amounts of military brought into watertown and throughout the day. of course this has become something we ve seen in the last ten years. local police departments, local law enforcement officials, through federal money sometimes, being able to acquire this kind of equipment. bolster up s.w.a.t. teams and the like, all of that a bare right now. i think watertown, if you are looking for context of why the amount of force that is out is that last night there was a shootout. there was a police officer mit who was shot and killed. we don t know for sure if that was at the hand of the suspect. but we do know in the shootout, last night there were 200 rounds fired. improvised explosive devices
