Also, the suspect when driving away from the scene supposedly ran over his brother and police officers.
The stories said they were throwing explosives at the police from the car and during the shootout.
Ignore if already posted.
CNN said that the younger one was a naturalized American citizen. Makes it even more inexplicable to me.
I wonder at what percent do they start to worry they missed him. Can you imagine having 95% of the area completed and thinking they couldn't have possibly be this unlucky to have this kid be in the last 5% of the area?
Not sure if it was already posted but it has been apparently confirmed he naturalized last year.
Seems like not the best police work? They're in a shootout with him, and he just gets in the car and drives through them and gets away?
WBZ says the Connecticut police are looking for '99 green Honda that they were informed by the Boston PD might contain the suspect.

People keep asking about this of what happen. I posted a link early that has a vid of the shoot out I can't tell if it still up as work is blocking all vids. No way police going to get close as these guys were throwing explosives.
They were born and lived in Kyrgyzstan before moving to Dagestan before immigrating to the US 7-8 years ago. This is what is stated by their family members.
Car's been found on the scene, no suspect. Lookout cancelled.
I saw an interview with a resident who said that the guys came screeching in with the cops after them. They hid behind their vehicle and had a shootout with the cops, including the total destruction of a police SUV trying to drive at the shooters. He said they just kept shooting at it until it crashed into his neighbor's car. He said he thought he also heard explosives going off (cell video doesn't support this though it could have happened before). Says one of them threw a cooker out on the street and that it did not explode but rather produced a large volume of smoke. At this point the older brother charged police on foot and was gunned down, detonated himself, or both. The younger brother got back in the SUV and drove straight at the police crashing through their line and heading west. He said that the entire time the line of police was about 60-100 feet away from the shooters.
Dark out, under fire, explosives, waiting on backup, suicidal perps, smoke screen, and insanely reckless driving do not equal bad police work. Remember these guys have probably all been putting in massive overtime since Monday as well.
I guess that's one way of dealing with what must be incredibly shocking news, especially considering so many people have said these guys were nice, friendly guys who they never would've thought could've done something like this.The aunt is complete opposite of the uncle, she's in conspiracy theorist mode.
"The Tsarnaev family moved to Makhachkala from the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan, where they had sought refuge from violence in Chechnya in the mid-1990s, a Dagestan official said."

Again, you are wrong.

At this point the older brother charged police on foot and was gunned down, detonated himself, or both. The younger brother got back in the SUV and drove straight at the police crashing through their line and heading west. He said that the entire time the line of police was about 200 feet away from the shooters.

I'm confused. Are you saying Makhachkala isn't in the capital of the Daegestan region there?

No, he is very explicitly saying that they moved to seek refuge from Chechnya...meaning they are Chechen.
