Yeah, hell of a wakeup here. The MBTA is totally shut down. No order to stay inside here in Somerville.
My roommate probably knows the MIT officer -- it's a small force so she's interacted whenever there's a library problem that they have to come out for.
Also, my mother just pointed out that we went by MIT at about 10:30 last night. So that explains the emergency vehicles we kept pulling over for.
Please, please, stay safe, people.
USA Today is reporting that the at-large suspect is 19, graduated from a Cambridge high school in 2011, and the younger brother of the suspect who died. Nineteen. A high school wrestler. Just a stupid, childish, stupid kid, who murdered another kid and two other people and blew limbs off another hundred or so. Fucking hell.
A Russian news agency posted a copy of the suspect's page from VKontakte, a Russian Facebook clone: [link]
Ringe & Latin is a High School?
Yikes, Jesse!
Ok, so whenever I've tuned in (between shower and hairdryer) Dina Temple-Raston(?) IS REALLY freaking shoving the al-quaeda thing. It is rather unseemly and speculative and UHG.
Ringe & Latin is a High School?
Yes! My alma mater. (Rindge)
It's the only public high school in Cambridge.
Yikes. Crazy ass morning for you all.
Weird image of the morning: MBTA busses with STATE POLICE and BOSTON POLICE signs actually moving busloads of cops around.
How many cops are here? ALL OF THEM.
TCG's work has been canceled today because of all this, but he's not answering his cell phone so I can tell him that.
