EARLIER
There was no confirmation from authorities as of 2:50 a.m. Friday, but media reports suggest there could be a connection between suspects involved in a shootout near Boston late Thursday into Friday and the two suspects wanted by the FBI in questioning for the Boston Marathon bombings.
The Boston Globe reported that a bombing suspect had been caught.
The incident appeared to begin with a shooting at MIT. The Fenway-Kenmore Patch in Massachusett reported that a police officer was fatally shot at the campus in Cambridge, Mass., Thursday night at about 10:20 p.m. EST.
Following that shooting, a carjacking occured.
Malden Patch tracked the chaotic night. Residents in Watertown, Mass., reported that a shootout happened and that explosions could be heard. We have uploaded video from the shootout. It is not known if either incident – the shooting of the officer or the Watertown shootout – is connected.
CNN reported that two individuals were involved in the carjacking. One was shot, critically injured during the pursuit and later died, the network reported.
The second suspect—identified as the man in the white cap on FBI video and photos, is still being sought and is considered armed and dangerous, according to reports.
State police told Watertown residents to stay in their homes as police went door to door, several media outlets reported.
CNN reported that dozens of police from various units swarmed Watertown, some dressed in SWAT uniforms with others wearing helmets.
Late Thursday, hours after an afternoon press conference in Boston, the FBI released even more photos of the two suspects, which are much clearer.
