yeah Ive been listening to the scanners for awhile, I have heard of 2 devices in the last 3 hours being found and detonated by EOD. Earlier they were concerned about having enough less then lethal out there but it may be moot as they just broadcast an announcement that #2 may have a suicide vest on as a trigger was found on the older brother.

Here is the scanner if ya wanna listen

The uncle is extremely angry with his two nephews by bringing shame upon his family and the community and called the two suspects "losers" who should be begging for forgiveness from the people they harmed as well as from thier own community.

Sounds like a stand up guy.

My hat's off to the uncle.

[titanic3]

EDIT 202 1:31: It's basically been a lot of officers telling each other where they are going and general communication. Nothing new.

EDIT 201 1:30: Conference starting, link below.

EDIT 200 1:26: Correspondent /u/potato_bus says another press conference is coming up.

EDIT 199 1:21: I have heard no updates on the old man with the dead switch or the location of White Hat. I am only listening to the scanner but I do check messages for info.

EDIT 198 1:20: Apparently the 'hostage' was frightened by a police officer with a gun.

EDIT 197 1:18: House with 'hostage' was clear.

EDIT 196 1:17: They made sure the situation from 185/177 is definitely clear.

EDIT 195 1:15: "Ambulance on the way to evaluate her."

EDIT 194 1:14: People are telling me they said the hostage is safe.

EDIT 193 1:11: They are calling for an ambulance to swing by. If something was said before it I missed it.

EDIT 191 1:10: A lot of garbled messages, SWAT is stepping in.

EDIT 190 1:08: Front door opened, "we have the message".

EDIT 189 1:07: Look if the hostage taker is reading reddit instead of listening to the scanner then he's screwing himself and we're helping the police.

EDIT 188 1:05: Attempting to contact hostage taker.

EDIT 187 1:02: Possible house with hostage located.

EDIT 186 1:00: Another suspicious package reported.

EDIT 185 12:57: Situation from EDIT 177 is clear.

EDIT 184 12:56: Possible hostage situation.

EDIT 183 12:55: "Everyone take cover. No more units."

EDIT 182 12:55: "A person is being held there by gunpoint."

EDIT 181 12:54: A man is trying to get through security but has no credentials.

EDIT 180 12:53: Woman is being held by a man with a gun

EDIT 179 12:53: Again, I don't know what the specifics of 173 are. I'm not holding out. They just started talking and then said 'we don't want this on the air' and then didn't talk about any specifics.

EDIT 178 12:51: Reports are coming in that the White House situation room has been activated. I'm looking up more now on that.

EDIT 177 12:47: They are following up on another lead similar to the open basement. Stuff has been moved since they last investigated the area. (Look, do I think white hat is reading this instead of just listening to the scanner? No, but i can be a little more vague when the detail doesn't matter.)

EDIT 176 12:42: About EDIT 173, I don't really know what it is. They aren't saying many details, they are checking on a vehicle, but other than that the only details are unit number and specific locations. Which is exactly what they asked not be posted. If something happens I'll post the aftermath. And this is the first time they specifically said on the scanner not to mention something on the air.

EDIT 175 12:40: They are checking on something but not being very descriptive.

EDIT 174 12:38: There will be a controlled explosion in Cambridge later in the day as a precaution.

EDIT 173 12:35: They just said something that they don't want on air. Don't write a comment about it.

EDIT 172 12:34: I'm still listening to the scanner and not the press conference so if anything new comes out in the conference please let me know.

EDIT 171 12:33: EOD team being sent to another location.

EDIT 170 12:29: /u/potato_bus posts link to upcoming press conference. Police are very concerned about the security for the conference, or rather, making sure it is as secure as possible.

EDIT 169 12:27: Open basement door that is being checked out.

EDIT 168 12:24: /u/potato_bus said that MyFoxBoston is reporting that the helicopters are part of the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team (HRT), they are not military.

EDIT 167 12:22: CNN is confirming that the link is his twitter account: https://twitter.com/J_tsar/

EDIT 166 12:17: /u/SolusLoqui posted a link to a Guardian photo album of Boston's deserted street. Still waiting on press area to be cleared apparently.

[titanic3]

EDIT 165 12:15: As you've probably seen, military choppers have arrived. Also news networks are reporting on the same twitter I linked. I'm still leaving it down, but there are many cached pics of him.

EDIT 164 12:13: Press conference should be sometime soon.

EDIT 162 12:05: For those asking there have not been any recent updates on Suspect #2 (White Hat)

EDIT 161 12:02: Suspect is "clear", safe for EMS to approach him.

EDIT 160 12:01: Numerous people from different areas have reported loss of power. (Power outages were reportedly due to construction.)

EDIT 159 12:00: /u/greenlep posted a different link to a possible twitter for Suspect #2 (White Hat). Take it with a grain of salt, but looks more legit than the last one. REMOVED Cached profile pic was of Suspect #2 (White Hat) but it will stay removed until some source verifies it.

EDIT 158 11:56: Still working on the old suspect, no updates on his status.

EDIT 157 11:55: Apparently the "jumper" was not a person, but an area where a possible bomb may have been which explains why an EOD was sent to the location.

EDIT 156 11:52: /u/riothedragonman lives near the area where the jumper was reported and says everyone has dispersed.

EDIT 155 11:51: Someone asked, no update on hockey duffel bag drop off. No update on jumper.

EDIT 154 11:47: Four robots operating on the old man right now. No word on device or explosive.

EDIT 153 11:45: Press conference will begin soon, they are letting media with credentials enter the scene.

EDIT 152 11:44: One area that was previously being investigated is clear. Not the old man or jumper scene.

EDIT 151 11:39: Second bearcat is arriving at the original scene with the old man.

EDIT 150 11:35: They are doing police stuff that doesn't need to be reported.

EDIT 149 11:30: An EOD team is being called to the overpass, no specifics.

EDIT 148 11:28: Possible jumper on an overpass.

EDIT 147 11:26: Because it keeps getting asked. The suspect that is being searched by the EOD robots, that is handcuffed, that has the dead man switch, is a 60-70 yr old gray haired man. He was specifically identified as having salt and pepper hair, even the age 90 was thrown out. This is NOT White Hat aka Suspect #2

EDIT 146 11:24: Investigating possible sighting of suspect #2 at different location. (Most likely a false sighting, nothing else was said about this)

EDIT 145 11:23: Unknown car has stopped within a security perimeter.

EDIT 144 11:22: They said they need to bring in a second EOD robot and a second Bearcat (armored vehicle)

EDIT 143 11:19: EOD robot is still clearing the suspect. He will be interviewed after he is cleared.

EDIT 142 11:18: Officials are supposed to give any update some time soon.

EDIT 141 11:15: They are telling all non-SWAT to leave the area.

EDIT 140 11:14: Subject definitely has some kind of device or switch in his hand.

EDIT 139 11:11: EOD (explosive ordinance disposal) robot is attempting to remove the jacket from the man right now.

EDIT 138 11:07: Been silent, EOD is on scene.

EDIT 137 11:03: To further clarify, guy with the white hat has nothing to do with this (as far as we know). He is still on the loose. This suspect is an old man (60-70) with grey hair and appears to be holding a dead man switch.

EDIT 135 11:01: Negotiating with suspect (not white hat).

EDIT 134 11:00: Apparently EDIT 126/128 was not clear. This is not Suspect #2 aka White Hat.

EDIT 133 10:59: Guessing they are still waiting on EOD.

EDIT 132 10:53: Hearing "man down" in the background, asking about another location. Had two streams going and couldn't tell what was overlapping. Not true.

EDIT 132 10:52: Making attempts to block a possible blast.

EDIT 131 10:51: Suspect is shaking his head "no" and trying to arch his back up, speculating that he may be trying to do something with the device.

EDIT 130 10:47: He has something in his right hand that he holding. Last person had a dead man switch. (If someone lets go of a dead man switch it triggers the mechanism)

EDIT 129 10:46: Some people are saying they heard reports of a shot fired.

EDIT 128 10:45: Waiting on EOD to move further. Still no information on if the older man held at gunpoint has any relation to Boston Suspect #2. Has anyone heard how they originally found him or if he approached officers?

EDIT 127 10:44: Suspect is being held at gunpoint and is in handcuffs.

EDIT 126 10:40: Waiting on mod position. A different suspect may be found, may have transmitter on him. They are being cautious, white male, 60-70 yrs old. Brown jacket, device is in jacket.

EDIT 125 10:39: It has been brought to my attention that the Boston PD has been asking that people do not post information from the scanner online. As of now I will reduce updates only to information that either they want people to know (like the CRV info) or that can not compromise them at all. Or stuff that is already on national news, like the man being held at gunpoint.

EDIT 124 10:25: Some guy just dropped a hockey duffle bag by "Save the Harbor Save the Bay" and left, they are looking for him.

EDIT 123 10:24: You can stream this post to reduce the load on reddit. Updated to new post.

EDIT 122 10:22: Looking at a red Crown Victoria now.

EDIT 121 10:20: CRV was apparently found empty.

EDIT 120 10:18: They say they have or have seen some possible suspects who look Russian. "We have him with us." Not entirely sure the specific. I don't think it's the actual suspect, they were being too casual about it.

EDIT 119 10:15: Still looking for 1999 Grey Honda CRV License # 316 ES9 (thanks, sleepy dyslexia kicking in). Suspect is believed to be driving/in the vehicle.

EDIT 118 10:13: Pretty slow going right now. Just making sure everything is in order.

EDIT 117 10:07: Found a .40 caliber round casing. Said it was in "pristine condition." Found some distance from shootouts, said it looked like it might be one of theirs.

EDIT 116 10:06: Whew, start of hour 4...
