MIT Shooter on the Loose - Officer down reported

[Gideus]

Listening to the scanner, apparently the first suspect is reported to have had an explosive device on his chest; it is suspected that the second suspect has one as well.

He also has been seen recently.

EDIT: And CNN is apparently not being a reliable source anymore.

People are waking up and trying to get out - I hope they're able to safely get away to a location away from this.

a bunch of twitter live tweeters are reporting those things too

Implying that CNN, FOX, or any news outlet for that matter is reliable, lol.

And for sure. If anyone is in the area please hit the road and get out. Especially if they still have bombs laying around the place.

There have been mentions on the scanner and on the Reddit of suspicious packages being found.

CNN was completely off target; they were showing (if I am not mistaken) a naked man somewhere, while the suspect is not naked.

As I do not follow Twitter, I would not know.

police are telling people to stay in their homes with doors locked & not to open for anyone who is not a uniformed officer.

I haven't watched CNN or any news in the past ten years. (Obvious exception for local news which is absent of the typical reactionary and political hysteria)

Reddit, which is usually a sliming cesspool of 4chan hipsters, has had more facts and accurate evidence than every news media outlet combined over the past 2 days.

No, don't get out. That's fucking stupid advice. If you live in the area, stay in your homes/apartments and lock the door. Call 911 if you see anything suspicious.

Id be two towns over by now if it was me.

Yeah, just like when hiding under a desk was supposed to protect us from a rogue nuclear strike after 9-11.

Seriously. I understand why they told people to stay in their homes; to not get in the fucking way and cause mass hysteria. However, if people can get in their vehicles and drive out of town calmly and with the absence of fucktardedness and lunacy, that would be nice.

[Eladisia]

Oh no, are we going to invade whatever country the fugitive is from now (hopefully he's not American, that would be weird)? I really regret signing up for selective service.

CNN is on to me. Shit.

or dead because you set off a bomb left by suspect 2 while he was on the run and leaving a "trail of explosives"`

[Terraius]

I doubt we would invade India. Who else is going to provide American businesses' customer service?

Yeah, those invisible pressure cooking pots are just a bitch to avoid these days.

Pakistan.

They are almost certainly Americans.

No shit? Actually, the other concern is getting in the crossfire. If you have a guy running around with a bomb strapped to him, shooting at cops and cops shooting back, with the chase leading God only knows where, what kind of shit advice is it that they get out if they can? Do you understand just how stupid that is?

For Christ's sake...

Pakistan.

True enough.

Then again, India has nukes. Maybe we can photoshop the suspects and blame it on North Korea instead?

[Terraius]

Pakistan.

Indian-Americans, yes. Technically their countries of origin are here. So we could invade ourselves.

We do have the tactical advantage, knowing the territory and all.

From the scanner, they are actively fielding K9's to sniff out the packages; there's two confirmed packages that may or may not be explosives.

EDIT: One is current, one was a while ago if I'm not mistaken.

They were for a short while, I was hearing a lot of confusion over that on the scanner.

EDIT: They are actively doing this now according to the scanner.
