    Yeah, the NYT moved a story on it about 30 minutes ago. It's him.

    I can't find it right now...but there is a wider shot of this photo that shows the young boy who died next to the smiling woman. That's how close the bomb was to him. Just awful.

    Older equipment has lower resolution and less data storage capacity. The quality will improve as more of the newer stuff comes online.

    I can't be the only one wondering if this is related to the Marathon bombing.

    I also can't believe none of the cable news networks is focused on this.

    The white hat worn backward stands out after a while, doesn't it?

    That kid marked himself pretty well on his own by trying to look too casual.

    My thoughts exactly. Did the officer confront one of the possible two bombers? FBI says they're considered armed and dangerous.
