Michael Skolnik @MichaelSkolnik 27s When the Brown student disappeared back in March, there was an explosive device found on the university campus that was ultimately detonated.

I'll take over for Nick. The national news died tonight. Twitter and Reddit officially are now more useful than CNN ever will be again.

Here's what we know so far:

[*]Black hat was shot and arrested, and was announced dead on arrival at the hospital. Info has come in on the scanner that he may have had an explosive device attached to his chest that he detonated upon being taken into custody.
[*]White hat is on the run and the name of the Brown University student is being thrown out there; however, he appears shorter than the 6'2" that the missing Brown student stands.
[*]Police have detonated multiple devices in the street and in the vehicle that the two stole
[*]the 7/11 that they went to is what caused them to get caught; surveillence video enabled the FBI to identify them and that's what led to the chase.
[*]The gentleman who was being shown over and over laying on the ground was just some idiot who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was stripped naked and taken into custody (likely due to suspect #1 having the explosives on him) and later released. Odds are he'll try to sue. I know I would.
[*]The MIT incident is being called unrelated at this time; however, it's my belief that they were trying to set off another bomb at that location, as one of the things they threw at police was another pressure cooker bomb; I seriously doubt they were just randomly moving around with that. I believe they were trying to plant another bomb, the officer recognized them, and shit hit the fan.
[*]Local news and CNN show videos that the internet showed 4 hours earlier; they're still not realizing the guy that was on the ground wasn't involved.
[*]They are searching homes one by one, to make sure he's not there.
[*]State police tweeted out and sent out a reverse 911 call to homes, telling residents to stay indoors and not answer anything at the door unless it was a police officer who had clearly identified themselves, and to call 911 if they were unsure.

"This is a terrorist. This is a person who came here to kill people." Chilling words from the police commissioner.

The two terrorists were from Chechnya, which explains why their bomb was such a nasty fucking contraption and unlike what many of the Middle Eastern terrorists employ. They're more nasty and dirty than the Taliban/Al Queda. The latter aim to terrorize and instill fear; Chechen terrorists look to maim and instill pain and suffering.

This is the first thing I thought of :lol:

This is like an exact scene out of gta at this time.

Disappointed the one guy was killed. As I said way early in this though is there is no chance these guys get taken alive.

Apparently the police drove over him before he detonated an IED.

These two are officially terrorists, there's no way they're going to come out alive. He's going to try to take someone with him.

Police are moving very slowly. Here's a photo a girl tweeted out from her backyard:
