This all started when the two men held up a 7-11 in Cambridge last night, then shot and killed a MIT police officer. They then carjacked a Mercedes, held the person inside for about 30 minutes before letting the victim go. A shootout started with police up and down the streets of Watertown, witnesses say there were too many gunshots to count, maybe 50 or 60 shots back and forth, explosions were heard by people in their homes in Watertown.

There are reports that they were throwing grenades at the police during the shootout, some people in Watertown reporting that pressure cooker bombs were also thrown out of their window during the firefight with police. An MBTA police officer was shot, he is now in critical condition. Suspect number one was shot during that firefight. We are hearing that police were telling him to stay on the ground, Don't move and they stripped him naked taking no chances. The DA's office has now said he has died from gunshots. Police are warning people in Watertown to stay in their homes, to not go to work...to stay in the center of their homes as far awayfrom the outside as possible. They are calling suspect #2 a terrorist who wants to kill people. He is wearing a gray hoodie. There may be more explosives in and around Watertown.

This is an ongoing manhunt. No one is being allowed in or out of Watertown, Cambridge, Waltham, Newton, Belmont, Allston, and Brighton. Police are urging people in these communities to stay home.
