Explosions At Boston Marathon

[mvaliz]

Reports of more shots fired.

Watching it live... if there are shots fired - it's from a VERY far distance as nobody is hearing anything.

This is crazy.....someone on another board thought the white hat suspect looked like this guy that went missing in march:

Just idle speculation at the time, but apparently it might be him after all?

Damn, almost 80,000 people listening O.o;

It's 3:00AM but I don't think I'll go to sleep until I know for sure what's what.

I don't see it.

[eschatological]

That guy looks nothing like the white hat guy.

@mvallas im listening from the scanner and there were reports (not confirmed) of shots fired.

[PickleballAce]

I don't see it.

Don't think it's legit, I didn't hear a name other than mulugeta on the scanner I linked unless it's another scanner.

That guy looks nothing like the white hat guy.

The one in the lower left corner looks a little like him, but there noses are completely different.

[eschatological]

A friend of mine who is listening in on the scanner said two suspects were named:

1) Mike Mulugeta
2) Sunil Tripathi (the guy in that blog article listed a few posts up)

Obviously all unconfirmed.

Wow... got to admit that comparing the photos there... he REALLY looks like the guy in the white cap. Especially the hairline. He even has the same bangs where there's a "nook" just over his left eye. Eyebrows and how they slant down to the nose also matches.

Interesting...

80,000 people listening in!

Looks like we might have something. Aside from the two in custody it sounds like they're looking for someone. It's defnitely not a time delay this is in real time. If you are watching the news it's secondhand unless they're independently vetting info.

Look at the bottom left photo. The other two are clearly from an earlier date as he's obviously not 22 years old in the other photos.

I agree, I don't see how they'd be able to confirm the second suspects name if he's not in custody and the first suspect is dead.

I was hearing one of them was fataly shot. true?

I'm listening to the scanner too. I heard their names used as well.

Just awaiting confirmation/info on their relevence to Boston/MIT/Watertown.

I was hearing one of them was fataly shot. true?

An MIT Officer yes. Both Suspects in custody are alive.

[Hughes]

A police officer was fatally shot, they got 1 of the 2 suspects in the shooting.

...did they spell out their names on the scanner?

EDIT: Just did a google search, first thing that came up was somebody's tweet about him being identified. :P

[eschatological]

Don't know, I'm not listening, this is what my friend in Boston who's listening on the scanner told me in IMs.

[PickleballAce]

I remember Mulugeta being spelled out. Didn't catch Tripathi but seems to be a few people caught it here and elsewhere so perhaps it's true.

[starkey]

I thought one of them was killed and the other on the run, so many misleading news lol
