1 Boston suspect shot, other on the run

WASHINGTON/BOSTON: One of the Boston marathon bombings suspects was killed in a shootout with police early Friday. A doorto- door search was on for the second, believed to be holed up in a house outside Boston, a city under lockdown.

Officials identified the hunted man as Dzhokhar A Tsarnaev, 19, and said the dead suspect was his brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26. They are of Chechen origin.

Boston came to a virtual standstill after authorities urged everyone to stay home, locks in place, as Dzhokhar, believed to be hiding in Watertown, was “armed and dangerous”.

Previously known only as suspect 2, he was shown wearing a white cap in surveillance pic- tures taken shortly before Monday's explosions.

About five hours after the FBI released the pictures on Thursday, the brothers robbed a store at 10pm (7.30am India times) in Cambridge, across the river from Boston, and killed a police officer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
