Although police feared he was heavily armed, the suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing had no firearms when he came under a barrage of police gunfire that struck the boat where he was hiding, according to multiple federal law enforcement officials.Authorities said they were desperate to capture Dzhokhar Tsarnaev so he could be questioned. The FBI, however, declined to discuss what prompted the gunfire.
Other law enforcement officials said the shooting may have been prompted by the chaos of the moment and some action that led the officers to believe Tsarnaev had fired a weapon or was about to detonate explosives.These new details emerged as investigators continued their examination of the movements and motives of Tsarnaev, 19, and his brother, Tamerlan, in last week’s coordinated bombing, which killed three people and wounded more than 250.
what difference does it make whether or not his gun was loaded, it was he emptied it at law enforcement trying to escape after killing and maiming Americans in an American city.
sorry zero tolerance should be the standing order in situations of terrorist attack home grown or not, you target us we will kill you if you don't surrender.
Law enforcement officials said they do not believe the brothers were connected with a terrorist organization, but they cautioned that the inquiry is at an early stage.
good to hear they are not repeating the FBI investigation that produced no evidence of connection, but it does not mean it'snot there. afterall they don't send them here with a note pinned to their shirt. home growns can be trained by those already here in the shadows, vigilence is the best prevention.
