One bomber is dead following a shootout with Boston police. The other is on the run with police in hot pursuit. Both men are implicated in an earlier shooting that left a M.I.T. police officer dead.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died in hospital, apparently of gunshot wounds. 19-year old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is being hunted down in the Boston Watertown neighbourhood. News reports claim police have him cornered.
The suspects came to America with their families less than ten years ago from central Asia, having lived in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. The family is believed to be Chechen.
