the Boston police scanners said they were looking for Sunil
Did you hear this yourself, or did you read it? That's really what I'm asking. I know many people were listening, but it's hard to tell what people heard first-hand and what people simply re-tweeted.
For my own peace of mind I'm trying to distinguish between two possibilities: a) that the names were not heard on the scanner at all and whole story was either a mirage or an intentional hoax, b) that someone's erroneous tip to the police was mistaken for its own confirmation.
- danso 13y agoThis is an excellent point. No I did not hear it myself and would not have been able to tell what was a first-hand account of hearing it from merely retweets/reposts of that information. And whoever originally heard it may have heard chatter that said the names, but not in the context of being actual suspects.
