Manhunt Ongoing for Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev

Law enforcement agencies are on the hunt for nineteen year old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. He and his brother, Tamerlan, twenty-six, are the FBI's suspects for the Boston Marathon bombings. The two brothers moved to the US from Chechnya, in 2003. Police had been searching for the two, since they were identified on Thursday.

Then late Thursday night, they robbed a 7-Eleven; shot and killed MIT Police Officer Sean Collier, twenty-six; and then carjacked a vehicle. Police chased them from Cambridge to Watertown.

During the chase, the suspects threw explosives out of the car and shots were exchanged wounding Richard H. Donahue Jr., a transit police officer. Donahue is in critical condition. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed shooting it out with police. In the middle of the confusion, Dzhokhar escaped on foot.

Authorities have been searching the area for him since that time. Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick has ordered the city of Boston to be placed on lock down. All mass transit has been shut down, businesses have been asked to remain closed, and residents asked to stay inside their homes.
