The entire city of Boston was put on lockdown Friday morning by the Massachusetts governor as police searched for the second of two men believed to have been involved in the marathon bombings earlier this week. Gov. Deval Patrick said people should shelter in place as authorities engaged in a “massive manhunt,” an extraordinary order that affected nearly one million people. The second suspect was shot and killed. Police searched the Watertown neighborhood door to door on foot and in patrol cars early Friday morning. Residents were asked to call 911 if anyone other than police came to doors in the neighborhood. All services on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority were suspended, authorities announced earlier on Friday. All Boston Public School activities were canceled. All city employees were told to stay in place and not come to work. If they are already at work, they have been asked to stay in place. Trial courthouses and offices in Cambridge, Brighton, Newton, and Waltham were closed until further notice. Jurors for courthouses at the Suffolk Superior Court and Brooke Courthouses were told to stay home. People waiting for buses or other transit services should head home and stay there, police said earlier on Friday. No vehicular traffic was being allowed in or out of Watertown, where police engaged in a shootout overnight with men armed with explosives. A no-fly zone was instituted over the Watertown area, the Federal Aviation Administration announced. Designated portions of the MBTA system might open up again later on Friday, Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency undersecretary Kurt Schwartz said. All Amtrak service coming into and departing from Boston’s South Station was delayed as a result of police activity. Amtrak service was suspended between Boston and Providence, Rhode Island. Logan Airport officials told NBC News early Friday morning that the airport was open and operating under heightened security. Megabus suspended at least ten buses traveling between Boston and New York and at least three traveling between Boston and New Haven, Conn. All Peter Pan and Lucky Star bus line services too and from South Station were suspended. Police said at a press conference that all of Norfolk Street in Cambridge had been shut down early on Friday, and media were warned to leave the area. Businesses were asked to remain closed. Harvard University announced in a statement on its website that it was closed. Classes were canceled at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where a campus police officer was shot and killed. Students at Boston College were told to “remain indoors” and classes were canceled. Emerson College tweeted that the school was closed until further notice: “Stay at home and where you are.” Boston University said its police were on patrol on campus. A BU graduate student was among the three killed by the bombing on Monday. The Boston Police Department tweeted:
Search for armed suspect continues in Watertown. Residents reminded to remain indoors. All vehicle traffic suspended.
Debbie very excited, proves that 2 and 2 make 9
Police officer shot dead at MIT in attack suspected tied to Boston bombing
DEBKAfile, Apr 19 2013
An officer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus in Watertown near Boston was killed early Friday Apr 19 when he responded to a disturbance caused by the appearance of two men armed with guns, explosives and wearing body armor. It is suspected they were preparing to seize a university building in a terror attack. After initial gunshots were heard at Building 32 on Vassar Street, dozens of SWAT teams, police moved toward the building, soon joined by FBI agents and a police helicopter. Gunfire and explosions were heard during the hunt for the killer indicating a gun battle in progress. One suspect is reported injured and taken to hospital under heavy guard. An MIT alert described the situation as active and extremely dangerous. One man is in custody, but it is not known whether he was involved. The situation remains unclear. The incident occurred hours after the FBI released filmed images of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing on Monday with a request to the public for assistance in identifying them. A possible link between the two events is being intensely investigated. The FBI released Thursday images of two suspects filmed on the move at the site of the Boston Marathon bombings of Monday, April 15. The footage with stills has been widely distributed and an FBI Tipline set up. Public assistance in identifying the two youngish men is considered critical to the investigation. Suspect 1 is shown wearing a black cap and, walking fast close behind him, Suspect 2 in a white cap. Both carry large black packages and both have Middle East complexions. FBI Agent Richard Deslauriers who is in charge of the investigation said Suspect 1 planted the first bomb, while a few seconds later, Suspect 2 was filmed placing a package at the site of the second, more powerful bomb, and walking away very fast. Both men are dangerous, he said, and should not be approached by the public. The images the FBI released of the two suspects have been floating around the Internet for the past 36 hours. And so the suspects must know they are being hunted. The way they walk behind each other as they pass through crowds without losing contact strongly recalls the formation maintained by the suicide bombers who blew up the London Tube train on Jul 7 2007.
