UPDATE: A source tells me more about the still-on-the-loose Sunil Tripathi:
Not sure if this is accurate or not, or even helpful (need to sleep and can’t verify), but… It seems that one of the bombers’ (assuming it is them) father is Akhil Tripathi – a very successful software engineer. He is from Kanpur. I am no expert on Kanpur, but it seems to be heavily Muslim.
NBC NEWS: The suspects approached the MIT officer and shot him in head, the sources said. The two then stole the MIT officer’s cruiser, robbed a nearby 7-11 and carjacked a Mercedes SUV, briefly kidnapping the driver, the sources said. At various points, the suspects threw explosives out the window of the moving car.
ALSO: First perp died from blast and multiple gunshot wounds at Beth Israel Hospital.
UPDATE II: NBC reporting that they’re Chechen brothers (Live feed here)

NOTE From S.Russia, not far from Chechneya, lived in Turkey for a time:
Perp surrounded: not any more he got away

This just might be it. Tragically a police officer was killed in the process of arresting the perp.
CNN reported that a second suspect was taken into custody in Watertown following the firefight with police. It showed video of one of the alleged suspects, stripped of his clothes, presumably as a safety precaution, being placed in the back of a police squad car. The Globe reported seeing one man being questioned by FBI agents in an ambulance.

Man in iconic piture with both legs blown off (Jeff Bauman) identified the perp:
“He woke up under so much drugs, asked for a paper and pen and wrote, ‘bag, saw the guy, looked right at me,’” Chris Bauman said yesterday in an interview.
