Timeline of Thursday-Friday Pursuit Of Boston Marathon Bomber Suspects
The timeline of events as a result of the search for the Boston Marathon bombing suspects:
-- At 5:10 p.m. Thursday, investigators of the bombings release photographs and video of two suspects. They ask for the public's help in identifying the men.
-- Around 10:20 p.m., shots are fired on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, just outside Boston.
-- At 10:30 p.m., an MIT campus police officer who was responding to a disturbance is found shot multiple times in his vehicle, apparently in a confrontation with the Boston Marathon bombing suspects. He is later pronounced dead.
-- Shortly afterward, two armed men reportedly carjack a Mercedes SUV in Cambridge. A man who was in the vehicle is held for about a half hour and then released unharmed at a gas station on Memorial Drive in Cambridge.
-- Police soon pursue the carjacked vehicle in Watertown, just west of Cambridge.
-- Some kind of explosive devices are thrown from the vehicle in an apparent attempt to stop police. The carjackers and police exchange gunfire. A transit police officer is seriously injured. One suspect, later identified as Suspect No. 1 in the marathon bombings, is critically injured and later pronounced dead.
-- Authorities launch a manhunt for the other suspect.
-- Around 1 a.m. Friday, gunshots and explosions are heard in Watertown, just outside Boston. Dozens of police officers and FBI agents converge on a Watertown neighborhood. A helicopter circles overhead.
-- Around 4:30 a.m., Massachusetts state and Boston police hold a short outdoor news briefing. They tell people living in that section of eastern Watertown to stay in their homes. They identify the carjackers as the same men suspected in the marathon bombings. Overnight, police also release a photograph of a man believed to be Suspect No. 2, apparently taken from store video earlier in the evening at a 7-Eleven convenience store in Cambridge. He is wearing a grey hoodie-style sweatshirt.
-- Around 6:35 a.m., The Associated Press reports that the bomb suspects are from a Russian region near Chechnya and lived in the United States for at least one year.
-- Around 6:45 a.m., The Associated Press identifies the surviving Boston bomb suspect as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, who has been living in Cambridge, Mass.
-- Around 8:40 a.m., a U.S. law enforcement official and the uncle of the suspects confirm that the name of the slain suspect is Tamerlan Tsarnaev, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's older brother.

Boston Marathon Bombing An Act Of Terror !
Make no mistake about it, this was clearly a terror attack at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Whether executed by Al Qaeda, domestic terrorists, some rogue group or a lone person it is an act of terror. The explosives contained schrapnel and were clearly designed to cause mayhem and chaos.
The first explosion went off causing people to run from that area straight into the path of a second explosion timed about 10-15 seconds later. This is a classic terror tactic almost right out of the playbook.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families and may God watch over my brothers in Law Enforcement as they conduct their tasks during this investigation.
