Their mother got caught for stealing expensive clothing from Lord & Taylor store last year.

Isn't that the same store in the scene where they dropped off one of the bombs?

Lord and Taylor cameras helped to ID the guys , I think one bomb was close to the store. There has to be more people involved as the suspect has not been found yet and the cops are all over Watertown . Someone had to help him get away so fast.

No, just idiots acting alone; they've damn near grown up in the States and have been here for more than a decade. The family is very divided on this -an uncle says they're scum and "a loser" and an aunt in Canada doesn't believe it because she said the FBI just had "a photo." Speaking of which, I saw a picture of the dead brother and talk about graphic...makes me wonder if the other is wounded. I'd be surprised if he isn't.
 
BREAKING: The second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing is believed to be "down" after gunfire broke out in the Watertown section of Boston moments after state and local officials said their hunt had come up dry Friday.
Sources told Fox News a suspect was down. A neighbor described the sound of multiple shots as akin to "a roll of firecrackers shooting off," and blood was found on or near a boat at a home on Franklin Street.
"All hell broke loose," the neighbor told a MyFox Bosto reporter.
Police were massing at the scene and an ambulance rushed to the area in a dramatic development came just after police said their hunt for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had gone cold and urged people to "go about your business."
Early in the day, police told residents of several city neighborhoods, especially Watertown, to stay inside. School was canceled, bus and train service suspended and people were even told not to venture out for work. But those restrictions were lifted at the news briefing Friday night, even though the suspect remained on the loose.
"Please go about your business," said Watertown Police Chief Edward Deveau said at the Friday night briefing, just minutes before the gunshots were heard.
For most of the morning and afternoon, the search was concentrated on the city's Watertown section, where Black Hawk helicopters patrolled the sky and police went door-to-door hunting for Tsarnaev. Police say he and his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev placed the deadly bombs at the race. The sibling suspects are from Dagestan, a province in Russia

that borders Chechnya, but have been in the U.S. for as much as a decade..
On Thursday night, hours after the radicalized Muslims were fingered by the FBI and their images circulated around the world, they killed a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer and carjacked an SUV from a man who later escaped. The brothers led police on a chase through city streets that included a wild shootout and the suspects hurling explosives from the SUV. Bizarrely, police discounted earlier reports that the brothers had robbed a 7/11, saying although it had been robbed, and they had been caught on surveillance video, they were not the robbers.
The pursuit went into Watertown, where Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was shot several times in the gunfight. But Dzhokhar Tsarnaev somehow slipped away, running over his already wounded brother as he fled by car, according to two law enforcement officials who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was pronounced dead at a hospital Friday morning. But at some point following the shootout and car chase, the younger brother fled by foot, according to State Police, who said Friday night they don't believe he now has access to a car.
During the pursuit, a MBTA transit police officer was seriously injured and transported to the hospital, according to a news release. He was identified as Richard H. Donahue Jr., 33, and was at Mount. Auburn Hospital in critical but stable condition.
The suspects' bloody rampage claimed the life of MIT Police Officer Sean Collier, 26, who was found shot to death in his squad car at 10:20 p.m. Thursday. Moments after the shooting, the brothers carjacked the Mercedes SUV from Third Street in Cambridge and forced the driver to stop at several bank machines to withdraw money. The driver later told police that the brothers had bragged to him that they were the marathon bombers, law enforcement authorities said.
“The guy was very lucky that they let him go,” Massachusetts State Police spokesman David Procopio said.
It was when police were working to activate the tracking device on the stolen SUV, that other patrol officers spotted it in nearby Watertown, touching off the dramatic chase.
Late Friday, Procopio said police found another pressure cooker bomb and several other explosives late Friday, but did not say if they were diffused or disposed of in a controlled explosions.
 
The news had edited to use "surrounded" rather than "down".

TV reports that the suspect is in custody.
 
People are celebrating in Watertown, I'm sure Boston will be lit up like an xmas tree.
 
I think the gash on the side of the dead sibling is from where the younger brother ran over him with the van trying to get away. I wonder if he knew he had backed up and run over his own brother and if the sibling was alive at that time....
 
I'm very happy that he got caught and in custody now.

He will face a lot of painful questions in the court and if found guilty so new home will be ADMAX in Colorado.

I think so. He will probably follow in the foot steps of Timothy McVeigh. It will be an interesting case.

He will also be intensely interrogated.
 
I kinda wonder if he was a "puppet" to his brother & was, in some ways, a victim himself.
Just a thought that has crossed my mind.
But, yes, he will be tried for his crime(s).

I think he had access to the internet because he could not have know the law enforcement presence was that large. He did not try to run for it.
