coming over Boston Police scanner.
But is identifying suspect as white male in his 60's...."with a device on him".
Suspect is cuffed and on ground, at gunpoint.
They are asking for ATF to come to scene, probably because they think their is a "device" on this guy.
UPDATE:
"State Police: Heavily armed tactical police are searching a 20-block area in Watertown, with four crime scenes."

and
scanner reports a robot is being used/coming to site, of handcuffed man with "device" or "switch in his hand, they saw it when they tackled him to the ground"
who is NOT the bombing suspect.
Either a 3rd person in the plot
or
the massive sweep happened to flush out another nut.
This is taking place in Boston on Boylston.

Too early to say what's the matter.
Now going to "experts", speculation, etc.

(8,064 posts)god. i've been wondering if the suspect 1 and 2 were merely the bomb placers
and not the bomb makers or the planners. smiling white guy may just be
involved. who knows. good find though!
