Think your info is a bit off there. It's not the whole state heh, just Boston and the immediate suburbs.
Massachusetts = 6,500,000 people.
Boston = 650,000 people.

Another current news story that the media drives me nuts with is the Texas plant explosion. First it was 3 dead, then 5 dead, then 15, then possibly as many as 15. Then it's unknown, last night I looked again and they said possibly up to 48 are confirmed dead! This morning I look again, same website, and it says unknown number of dead and any numbers they give are pure speculation.

They're getting worse than the weatherman. They used to be the ones who were wrong 90% of the time and it was accepted, now it's the entire news media that's wrong and it's still accepted!

Being from Massachusetts I've never seen anything quite like this.. never seen so many police in one place. They still haven't found the other guy.

I just turned on the police scanner (h.t.t.p://www.ustream.tv/channel/ma-rt-9-window-cam) to see if anything interesting was going on (nothing is). Sounds like the guy has managed to hide himself and/or get away from the area they're searching.

From what I gather they split the search into 4 areas. Only one area is left and it's 90% clear. They seem to be looking through everything they can from the sounds of it, calling out the right people to check every bag/box they see unattended.

Amazing how easy it is to totally freeze an American city in its tracks.

The guy is surrounded again near a house in water town. This was like 30 minutes after the search was called off for the day I think.

holy shit, boston pd actually let him live? here in chicago, chicago pd would likely let him trip and fall on a gun trigger by "accident" and that would be the last anyone heard of it.

as for "serious condition" i wonder if that happened before or after he was put in cuffs.

I think it's a little bit of both. He was injured in the chase the night before and spent almost 24hrs bleeding and hiding in the boat. They shot in some flashbangs, and teargas.. before they actually took him out.
