dear SoccerGeorge, thinking of your kids and everyone else's kids and loved ones in the area
According to the live feed from WBZ Channel 4, an uncle to these boys said they don't deserve to live on this earth, and when told one had been killed he said he deserved it.

WBZ reports that a car was pulled over, the police questioned the driver, then took him out of the car, cuffed him and put him a a police van. That was on the outskirts of Brighton.

The "mobiles" are shut down. People in the U.S. generally call them cell phones
And so what? In the UK, "cells" are what we put prisoners in, and what blood and flesh are made of. Mobiles are what we carry around to make phone calls with. See - I can do condescending quotes too. Prick.

According to WBZ, the father of the current fugitive describes him as angel.
Interesting interview with a former classmate of the fugitive suspect--this kid said that he was just a regular guy, that they didn't know he was foreign because he spoke unaccented English. He was said to have been popular, socializing normally as one would expect of a high school student. The kid said that he ans his brother "dropped off the radar" about a year ago.

@Setanta,
Every person I've heard who knew this kid describes him the same way: a great kid, nice, popular, nothing weird about him. It's very strange.
It seems unimaginable to have an entire city on lockdown.
The vehicle sought by the Connecticut State Police has been found in Cambridge. The suspect's uncle (who lives in Maryland) says that the two have been in the United States since 2000 or 2001.

@boomerang,
A police spokesman has said that "normal, nice guy" describes most such suspects before they take action. I'm listening to an interview of their uncle sho lives in the United States right now.

That is the cost and the benefit in asymmetric "warfare".

The Honda which had been the subject of the Connecticut APB was registered to the older brother (now deceased). To repeat, it was found in Cambridge.
