one suspect is dead. the other at large. police are on the trail. they believe they have kind of cornered him in a building in the watertown section of boston. if you are just joining us and just waking up to the news it started at 10:30 last night when these two suspects robbed a 7-11 in cambridge and went to the cam pus of mit where they shot and killed an mit police officer, car-jacked a car and then the police started chasing them into watertown. the watertown area. as they were doing so. the suspects were throwing explosives from the car. they arrived in the watertown area there ensued a gun ask the fight. the guy in the black hat got out of the car. he had an ied strapped to his body and mr. white hat escaped. he is at large considered at large and dangerous, and the entire area of watertown, the western suburbs of boston have been shutdown. >> that's where we are right now, as we start the full court press this morning. we will monitor the situation and keep you updated right here on the full court prose current tv. (vo) this afternoon, current tv is the place for compelling true stories. >> jack, how old are you? >> nine. >> this is what 27 tons of marijuana looks like. (vo) with award winning documentaries that take you inside the headlines, way inside. (vo) from the underworld, to the world of privilege. >> everyone in michael jackson's life was out to use him. (vo) no one brings you more documentaries that are real, gripping, current. this show is about analyzing criticizing, and holding policy to the fire. are you encouraged by what you heard the president say the other night? is this personal or is it political? a lot of my work happens by doing the things that i am given to doing anyway. staying in tough with everything that is going on politically and putting my own nuance on it. not only does senator rubio just care about rich people but somehow he thinks raising the minimum wage is a bad idea for the middle class. but we do care about them, right? vo: the war room monday to thursday at 6 eastern alright, in 15 minutes we're going to do the young turks. i think the number one thing that viewers like about the young turks is that we're honest. they know that i'm not bs'ing them with some hidden agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. when the democrats are wrong, they know that i'm going to be the first one to call them out. they can question whether i'm right, but i think that the audience gets that this guy, to the best of his ability, is trying to look out for us. [ music ] broadcasting across the nation on your radio and on current tv this is "the bill press show." >> bill: good friday morning, everybody. it is friday april 19th. we are coming to you live from our nation's capitol, where we and it seems the entire world are focused on the unfolding situation up in boston. if you are just rolling out of bed, if you are just getting up if you are just tuning in and you haven't been up all night watching the news, it has been a night of mayhem in the boston area jumping to the chase, one of the suspects in the boston bombing of the marathon on monday is dead. the other is at large. he is armed and dangerous. parts of the city of boston have been -- the western suburbs of boston have been shut down as the police are dragging him down. they have warned everybody to stay indoors. they have shut down the entire public transit system in the area. area. it's a very touchy situation in boston. events have moved very fast. bringing up bringing you up to date, it started at 10:30 last night, started yesterday afternoon late when the f.b.i. released the photos of the two suspects, one in a black hat one in a white hat both walking through the area, both carrying back packs. both seen putting their back packs down and leaving the area. and the police were trying to find them, track them down. but as the actions of the two men, themselves, that brought police to -- after them. it was their actions that got them to -- brought to the attention of authorities. they started last night at 10:30 when they robbed a 7-11. they went on the campus of mit where they shot and killed a police officer sitting in his car and then they carjacked a car and police took after them, an s.u.v. the car chase ensued. the dis respect were driving through the western suburbs throwing explosives out of their car. they got to water town and the gun chase gun fight follows from that. the blackhat gets out of the car. he is shot and killed by police officers. he has an i.e.d strapped to his chest. they run over his body. then the white hat during this at this confusion, he escapes on foot in to the area of watertown. and that is when the police locked down the western suburbs. this morning, they are asking everybody to stay indoors. 24e6 shut down the transit systems, and they are asking people not to congregate at the bus stops or the subway stops waiting for the service to resume. but to go back home if they are already home and if they haven't left home, to stay home. not let anybody in. and there are reports that the police officer are now focused on and zeroed in on one building where they believe that suspect is. let's dip into the coverage locally. up in boston. this is w ht h, channel 7, the nbc affiliate in boston and pick-up their coverage. >> a young man considered out of a young family with a little child, just putting on their socks and let's go back to the swat.w.a.t. team, john, as they work this area more having rusly than they have at any time during the night sweeping through the houses they have apparently satisfied themselves that the explosives were not as dangerous as they feared they might be earlier in the night. they felt safe enough they could move the residents out and now moved in to at least one house here, heavily armored themselves moving and searching. as you heard from one of the residents, checking the residences as well for potential weapons and the investigation continues. i will go back for a moment while you continue to watch. >> yes. we had heard that neighbors should not be surprised if police officers that would be clearly defined as an officers. when a s.w.a.t. team comes to your door, that looks obvious they may be making sweeps going in and out of homes. initially, we were hearing they may be doing that and sort of almost surveying the households to make sure there wasn't anybody there that didn't belong. also talking about suspicious devices possibly making a sweep through back yards, through back yards, we saw devices being thrown from vehicles and somebody reporting seeing a pressure cooker in the street, which we all know now was a device that one, if not two used on monday at the marathon. so the concern isn't just about finding our suspect number 2, which is obviously the primary focus but then also, once they capture that person, the concern about public safety and what else might be left behind. they have been asking people to stay indoors basically have that city and many others around it under lockdown. we are seeing some families now leave, the family dan showed us with the young child, the gentleman there who earlier was showing the scene from out of his window and i wonder where they are going, if there is some sort of shelter or going to a high school or something like that. we haven't had word because last we heard from authorities was that people should stay put. >> if you can imagine waking up to this scene in your house. >> sure. >> these people probably heard everything last night. >> they can see or hear there, the police sweeping the area house by house by house. they have asked people to stay indoors. there are also reports earlier that they were bringing buses in to move people out of the area if they wanted to get out of their homes and just get completely away from the scene. again, let's go back to yesterday afternoon. the head of the boston office of the fbi, rick delarea. they made the decision overnight to release the video and the photos of these two men, suspect 1 and suspect 2. suspect 1 wearing the black hat. suspect 2 -- i may have them backwards. one was black hat, one was white hat. with back packs. rick delarea said these are the two guys. we need your help if anybody has ever seen these two guys around call the f.b.i. >> after a detailed analysis, photo, and other evidence, we are releasing photos of these two suspects. they are identified as suspects 1 and suspect 2. they appear to be associated. >> bill: and then, yesterday afternoon, also, in boston president obama speaking at the inter faith service in memory of those who lost their lives and were injured in the boston marathon had a message to these two guys right after the photos had been released. >> to those who carried this out and anyone who would do harm to our people, yes, we will find you. and, yes you will face justice >> bill: yes, we will find you. well, they found themselves, as i pointed out. the f.b.i. on their trail but these guys took -- they realized, thankfully that the f.b.i. was closing in. and so they decided they had to get out of the area. they started by robbing the 711 shooting and killing a m.i. t. security officer and car-jacking the car and going in this car chase this morning. ed davis, who is the police commissioner for boston said this one guy on the loose. >> we believe this to be a terrorist. we believe this to be a man who has come here to kill people. we need to get him in custody. >> timothy albin followed up by warning people, again, about the lone suspect at large. >> he should be considered armed and dangerous and is a threat to anybody that might approach him. >> bill: and just this morning, just maybe about a half hour ago, the latest police briefing the head of police for the watertown area no doubt about it, these are not unrelated. these are the same two guys that planted the bombs on monday. >> we believe these are the same individuals that were responsible for the bombing on monday at the boston marathon. we believe that they are responsible for the death of an m.i. t. police officer and the shooting of an mbta police officer. this is a very serious situation that we are dealing with >> bill: it is an unfolding situation. again, we will keep on top of it with you checking in with w ht h in boston and all of our sources. some of the reporters that we have talked to throughout the week from u.s. a today who are on the scene in boston and, of course, give you a chance to comment on what's going on. if you are in that area, and we hear from amount of you in that area, around thebot area, particularly the western suburbs, the watertown area, which includes cambridge. i don't know boston well enough to know the names of the communication. >> i don't either. >> i have a nephew and his wife. bill -- will and alicia and their two songs, benjamin and, oh, my, forgetting my other little nephew's name or cousins's name who live in that area and everybody has been warned to stay indoors. >> the area that the police are telling residents to stay in is watertown, belmont, newton alston, brighton and cambridge. those areas if you are in that area of boston they are saying stay indoors. don't come outside. don't answer the door unless you can absolutely guarantee it's a police officer at the door. >> choose the charles river and of course, that's where harvard is, that entire area. your comments, 866-55-press, wherever you are in this great land of ours, particularly if you are in the boston area. by the way, then not identified by name the suspects yet. buzz it has been reported that they have some international ties, whatever that means, that they ah ve -- meaning they are not americans, i think is what that means. because they say they have been in the united states for the up to a year. we don't know in what capacity. i have heard that question asked. nobody said for sure yet whether they were students at harvard or m.i. t. or whatever on a work permit, that they may have some military experience as well. clearly, i think, what we see from theirtions so far is that these guys knew what they were doing. they were, if you will professional terrorists. there was some thought on monday from the size of the bombs and the fact that the bombs didn't do more damage that these were like amateur. >> yeah. >> home-grown. it looks like it's worse than that. they knew what they were doing, and they also had cable had carefully planned both the bombs and their attempted get away because they had ex plotsives in the car, i.e. i.e.d. s. they had multiple guns obviously. so they ah ve at a time appears to me they must have had not only the planning but the training that went ahead of the planning. all of this, of course is a developing story. we don't want to get ahead of the story. what we told you so far is just what has happened and what has been reported this morning. >> peter: i mean -- >> bill: scary stuff. if you are living in that area, you would be petrified with your kids to wake up to this. >> peter: this is terrorism. that's well-established but this is terrorism defined. there are pictures out there on twitter. we are retweeting some, getting them out there people waking up in that area now this morning, now that the sun is up or the daylight is coming around, there are military personnel on top of people's sheds, camped out with guns in their backyard. people are looking in their backyard, authorities swarming everywhere. it is a very serious situation there right now. >> bill: it's a lockdown in the boston area. one suspect is dead. one is still at large, armed and dangerous. everybody has been told to stay indoors while the police track this guy and find him. and again, there have been two reports so far that they believe they have located him in or around one building. >> that's the focus of attention so far. we will keep on top of it and get your calls and bring you up to date as we go through the morning here on the
