Police officer down at MIT, shooter on the loose?

 

What about reddit? Sue them too?

 

A massive left wing terrorist movement centered in the elite Eastern universities ... Fox News would have a field day.

 

Is Hopkins elite?

 

Good luck with that one...

 

He should sue the internet and Al Gore as well. But yeah the Post screwed the pooch on that one.

Minutes before the bombs blew up in Boston, Jeff Bauman looked into the eyes of the man who tried to kill him.

Just before 3 p.m. on April 15, Bauman was waiting among the crowd for his girlfriend to cross the finish line at the Boston Marathon. A man wearing a cap, sunglasses and a black jacket over a hooded sweatshirt looked at Jeff, 27, and dropped a bag at his feet, his brother, Chris Bauman, said in an interview.

Two and a half minutes later, the bag exploded, tearing Jeff’s legs apart. A picture of him in a wheelchair, bloodied and ashen, was broadcast around the world as he was rushed to Boston Medical Center. He lost both legs below the knee.

“He woke up under so much drugs, asked for a paper and pen and wrote, ‘bag, saw the guy, looked right at me,’” Chris Bauman said yesterday in an interview.

Those words may help crack the mystery of who perpetrated one of the highest-profile acts of terror in the U.S. since the 2001 assault on New York City and the Washington area, one that killed three people and wounded scores.

While still in intensive care, Jeff Bauman gave the FBI a description of the man he saw, his brother said. Bauman’s information helped investigators narrow down whom to look for in hours of video of the attack, he said.
Video Released

The bureau released video images of two men yesterday. Both men have on hooded sweatshirts under dark jackets; one is wearing a light-colored baseball cap turned backward on his head, while the other is wearing a dark baseball cap facing forward. Both are carrying large backpacks.

“I’ve had many times alone with him, and yes, he told me every single detail,” Chris Bauman said.

Paul Bresson, a spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington, declined to comment on specific tips in the continuing investigation. Two FBI agents interviewed at the Boston office declined to confirm or deny the account.

On April 15, Remy Lawler, 25, was standing with Jeff Bauman, said her father, Arthur Lawler, of Amesbury. Shortly before the explosion, Remy, who’s the roommate of Jeff’s girlfriend, Erin Hurley, moved closer to the finish line, away from Bauman and another friend, to take better photographs.

She suffered a baseball-sized shrapnel wound.

Shortly after, Lawler called her mother’s cell phone and left a message in which she cried “Mom! Mom!” Medics could be heard telling her, “You’re going to be all right,” her father said.

 

Police scanner feed for the MIT shooting

Here's the original and clearer image from the Facebook of the link Clutch posted. Closing on the image it doesn't look like that missing Sunny student and the Sunil guy is about 6'2" and this guy does not seems to be that tall. At least 5'10" and under.

 

Just came across this article which supports this.

 

Forgot the link.

Spoiler

 

I'm hearing from another board the shooter at MIT is a Hispanic wearing a cowboy hat? bizarre

SWAT and K9 called in

 

The greatest tragedy is that he didn't say anything when someone left a bag at his feet? What an unfortunate error.

 

Ehh I don't know if they are the same person, but the news reported Sunil as 6'0" and 130 lbs.

Really need more information before we know who it is. Still the world is shrinking because of technology.. For good and bad...

 

oh come on blaming the dude who got his legs blown off? gtfo

 

Exactly- we don't know if the guy dropped the bag, then stood for a minute or whatever, then walked away. Or if somehow this Jeff guy was distracted immediately after seeing this guy do that.

 

Come on man...

 

I'm sure thats going to haunt him for the rest of his life.
