[roninblade]

im following the live audio feed from Boston Police, Fire and EMS radio.

shots fired in MIT campus. 1 MIT PO already down. i think another one went down. suspect/s have long guns and grenades. all units are being ordered to retreat.

edit: this is surreal, like following an old fashioned radio drama.

A Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer was shot and killed on campus late Thursday night.

The officer was responding to a report of a disturbance when he was shot multiple times, Middle*** Acting District Attorney Michael Pelgro and Cambridge Police Commissioner Robert Haas stated.

According to authorities, the officer was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.

The name of the officer has not been released at this time. There are no other victims in the incident.

In a statement released to the press, Massachusetts State Police said no arrests have been made and a search for a suspect or suspects is ongoing.

Shortly after 1 a.m. on Friday morning, a second shooting incident was reported in Watertown, Mass.

EARLIER REPORTS

Shortly after the shooting occurred, MIT's website posted a notice to students that gunshots were reported in the vicinity of Building 32 in the Stata Center of the campus. School authorities asked students to stay clear of the area while the investigation was underway.

MIT's emergency system also sent the following text to students:

Emergency textECNET):MITAlert: There is a report of an Active Shooter in the vicinity of Building 32 Stata Center. Stay clear of the area. Follow up: emergency.mit.net
The Twitter account for MIT's student newspaper, The Tech, also sent a notice urging students to stay inside.

According to HuffPost's Michael McLaughlin, reporting from the ground, "About two dozen cops and detectives are clustered in an area south of Main St., a short distance from crime scene tape," with more police continuing to arrive by car.

Think about it: Tax day. Patriot day. 2nd Amendment Rally. Waco Massacre. Gun control. Sounds like a civil war is brewing silently.

Not to mention the Department of Homeland Security bought 2 billion rounds of ammunition.

Knew this was coming along.

Could be related to the Boston Marathon bombing.

The Boston Globe is reporting they are connected but they are jumping the gun. Nobody from the FBI or the police have confirmed this. They are still busy trying to get the last suspect.

i'm listening on web feeds since im in the office. for mobile you can check 5-0 Police Scanner app for iphone, or Scanner Radio app for android.

most of the action has died down - it has now become a manhunt for the last suspect. it was quite chaotic earlier since the suspects were being pursued in the dark; shots were fired plus IEDs involved. there was also more chatter on the radio before the majority of police units moved to a different channel.

'Come out with your hands up' -- Boston bombing suspect believed cornered

Police have cornered a man believed to be the suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings on a boat in a yard in a suburb of the Massachusetts capital, law enforcement officials told CNN.
Authorities "engaged" the man, according to one of the officials who spoke on condition of anonymity, just minutes after authorities indicated a massive manhunt for a suspect in Watertown appeared to come up empty.
