FINAL OPEN THREAD: 2nd Bomber Apprehended

Figured it's worth an update after 12 hours:

* Second suspect was arrested, alive, brought to Mount Auburn hospital in Cambridge, MA. He went and hid in a boat after they lifted the travel restriction. Very sneaky, Boston Police.

* Still finding unidentifiable bags around Watertown where the second suspect was holed up.

* Three other people were arrested by the FBI in New Bedford, not far from UMass Dartmouth where the second suspect was a student. No other word on this yet.

* At some point today, the police scanners reported an old man, approximately 60-70 years old, with a bomb vest. No word whatsoever on what happened after they got to him.

He looks like a kid who could have had a bright future. Other than an outstanding job by law enforcement, there isn't much to celebrate here.

That backpack is larger than his torso.

I think they said that the backpack is a medical kit.

It is... If you look closely it actually says "police" on it. I'm just comparing for the size.

It is sad that he's so young, I mistakenly said I don't feel too sorry for him, but someone corrected me and made a good point at how tragic this is.
