More Drama in Boston - Is This on the News Elsewhere? It's like Watching a Movie

We have had weird situations locally. Not to that extent, exactly, though. Someone took over the Discovery Communications building, for example. Or like B mentioned, the snipers who were initially thought to be in a white van.

DH told me this AM that the suspects are from Chechnya. Does anyone remember the female bombers from about 10 or so years back? I do, because I was profiled at the airport and had my baggage searched (which I was fine with because every other woman that fit that description was searched, too). I just read that the brothers came to the US about 10 years ago, which would be interesting timing re: women bombers.

I'm going to wait for things to settle down, as there's just too much noise right now. It's just a sad thing all around. Stay safe!

Here it's on the news nonstop. Much more attention to the Boston situation than to West, TX, in the NY media area. This one channel kept breathlessly reporting that train service from NY to Boston was shut down, and here we are live with an Expert on Something or Other to talk about what would happen if this happened in the NY area.

It's like (some) New Yorkers can't stand not to be the center of attention even for a minute. Annoying.

Lighting a candle for you and all Bostonians,

It's on the news here, too, but to a lesser extent.

West, Texas (not west Texas, the region, but West, Texas the village) is next door. It's a small town, but most everyone I know has spent time there at some point or another, and we have family close enough to have felt the blast. So most of our news footage is that.

I think yours is scarier, though. People like this always scare me way more than the possibilty (or actuality) of accidents. Y'all stay safe. Prayers are coming your way.

I'm not watching TV, but it's all over the internet. Absolutely incredible stuff happening right now. I think the whole country is in solidarity with you folks in the Boston area right now.

Stay safe. I hope they get this guy without anymore deaths or injuries.

I am not watching the news...we barely turn cable t.v. on. The news and shoot em' up action movies are becoming one and the same in my book.

It is all over the internet news sources...that is where I turn for keeping in the know.

I hope the murderer is caught alive rather than become another martyr for his deranged "cause". We have enough of these crazy martyrs that give fuel to idolizing replacements. It would be nice to get some answers and have the lunatic rot in a cell alone for the rest of his life. Give him some good thinking time away from his brother.

No, we have never had a situation like this that I can think of......yet.

Be safe...be cautious....and join your prayers with others around the world for peace and love to fill our homes,halls of Congress , communities and nations around world.

It's on the news at my work right now. But most of the ones around here are more worried about what's in our back door which is West.

I am glad they are taking major percotions to make sure ya'll stay safe. Sounds like you will not be going to work for a while!!

All over every news venue here.
Be safe.

Not since I was a kid have I been in a local manhunt situation (david tate in MO in the mid 80s- the kids were not allowed outside more because of parents worry, not law enforcement mandate and we had helicopters patrolling).
Yes, this hit twitter last night and has not stopped in coverage since the mainstream media picked it up this morning.

Stay safe!!

oh yes. watching it now

I turned on CNN and it sounds like a chaotic mess. Was the guy walking down the street naked? How did he end up shot?

Hope you are safe and sound - stay home!

Non stop coverage here. Stay safe!

I don't watch news but it is hitting the news sites I read.

It is. My BF texted me that info this morning. Said they are from Chechnya. All of Boston, Cambridge and Watertown on lock down.

One of the Conservative congressmen is saying that it is actually a fight between two of our govt factions trying to gain control by scaring the US citizens into following their "lead" and letting the govt handle our lives so we can be 'safe'.
Here is what I was sent: Listen UP Mirroring him http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMUcOZAF1RI

Dont know, but better safe than sorry. I don't trust anyone anymore.

Well, I am in the Concord, NH area, about an hour from Boston, and we were following it on the news all day Friday. It is very scary, and we are praying for the victims of the bombing and their families, as well as everyone in the Boston area. We were very thankful to hear last night that they found the younger one. Praying for you and your family in Boston!

It's on if you are on a news channel, it's not (as far as I know cause the kids are watching cartoons) on our basic channel's.

It's just tragic, no matter how you look at it, I hope he's brought in alive cause some answers would be nice...but, I'm not sure he will be. My hope is that there is no more death, on any side.

Things are quiet in neighboring Waltham(also in lockdown)...hope it stays that way and that they catch the kid....staying put and glued to the news

World wide news. Be safe!
