    Scanner said suspect is armed with explosives and an assaults rifle. Dark, curly hair, gray hoodie and white hat. I thought I heard them say he was a white guy, too.

    And just now said could have IED device on him.

    Listening to the Boston police scanner tonight is absolutely amazing. Nearly 80,000 people listening on the app I use right now.

    From scanner: The party that's outstanding is the one with the white hat that was identified in the photos.

    WCVB is going out of their way to not say tonight is connected to the Marathon bombings while still putting the idea in viewers minds that they are connected.
    Reports of multiple shootings and a bag of grenades tossed from a moving car that the SWAT was looking for

    The suspect in custody is currently naked, lying on the ground and being questioned by the FBI now.

    Doesn't sound like he's dead.

    EDIT: This info is from CNN.
