  I would like to add that the suspect made off with the officer's gun as well. That is according to what I heard on the police scanner.

  It may or may not be connected, but police in Boston have surrounded two men who are exchanging automatic gunfire them and have thrown grenades, another officer down. The grenades have been mentioned repeatedly, it's not 'I think I heard.' http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/6254/web http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/6254/web via Reddit. :-/

    That's in Watertown not Cambridge, so it sounds unrelated. All this stuff happening around Boston at the same time jeez http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/10002469/Boston-marathon-bombs-live.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1...

      Watertown is the next town over, and just up the road from where they filled up with fuel after carjacking... so, yeah, looks like it might be very related.

        I heard the carjacking reported on scanner while the MIT standoff was still going on, and there was a pretty short time between police at the MIT incident switching channels and some frantic-sounding talk from police following up on LoJack's report that the stolen car was in Watertown. So I'm inclined to believe these are two separate things.

            The carjacking victim reported that they'd been driving around for about half an hour before he escaped at a gas station. Time's arrow beats proximity.

              Occam's razor beats "time's arrow".
