    From what I can gather, the guy who looked like a body was run over and taken into custody.....the guy on WHDH I think was mistaken identity and they believe the 2nd suspect is still at-large

    Conflicting reports now. That dude might not have been involved.

    This is insane.

    Gabe Ramirez of CNN said the suspect looked like Suspect 1 from the Marathon.

    To be fair, the scanner traffic hit everything from "two black males" to "two dark-skinned white males," whatever that means, as well as two Arab males.

    The brief glimpse of the prone guy made it look like he had brown hair and was white, but it wasn't a great look at him at all. But as has been mentioned, he might not be involved at all.

    So there are two suspects in the bombing and there are two suspects in this MIT/Watertown incident. There was a bombing on Monday, there were explosions tonight.

    This has to be the apprehending of the bombing suspects, no?

    They don't seem to know if the MIT and Watertown incidents are related.

    Oh, good, here's Jake Tapper reporting from miles away. Nah, let's not get on scene.

    Wonder if the New York Post is loading up that "12 Dead" headline again.
