New details emerge on Watertown shootout with bombing suspects

Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was alive and struggling with Watertown police early Friday morning, when his younger brother and alleged co-conspirator drove over him in a stolen SUV, dragging him on the pavement and apparently inflicting the fatal injuries that killed him, said Watertown Police Chief Ed Deveau in a Globe interview.

Tsarnaev, 26, was pronounced dead early Friday morning at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, after engaging police in ferocious firefight in Watertown.

His brother, Dzhokar Tsarnaev, 19, is in Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in serious condition. He was captured Friday night, after hiding for hours in a boat stored in a Watertown backyard. Authorities believe the brothers planted bombs made from pressure cookers at the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, killing three and wounding more than 170.

The chief described the chain of events that led to Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s death, beginning late Thursday, after the brothers allegedly carjacked a man in Cambridge. The two brothers let the driver out unharmed, but the driver’s cellphone was still in his car, said Deveau. Police “pinged” the phone to determine where it was, he said, which alerted police that the suspects were in Watertown.

3. Yep. Pile it on. Hell, charge him with reckless driving. Anything to ensure that he will never

walk the streets a free man again.

4. if #2 suspect was going to suicide himself

He would have done it shortly after this incident.

It shows a selfish man that cares about no one but himself. He kills his own brother running away like the COWARD that he is and has always been; forever, in HELL where he shall rot!!

5. Again.

I will wait until the facts come out, if this ever happens. The stories I hear coming out of this so far sound like utter bullshit.

[Trajan]

6. These appear to be the facts

What is it about these specific facts do you object to?

What other facts are you looking for?

Do you think the police and FBI are in some sort of conspiracy to hang this person for a crime they did not actually commit? ... Why would they do this?

7. We're still getting conflicting details - it's frustrating.

From your post above:

Watertown Police Chief Ed Deveau in a Globe interview... The two brothers let the driver out unharmed..., said Deveau.

From another post of yours earlier today:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022730147

Cambridge Police Commissioner Robert Haas tells The Associated Press in an interview Sunday... Haas says the pair didn’t release the driver, but he escaped when he was left alone while the two men entered a convenience store.

I wish they'd get their stories straight! It's not that I think there's any kind of conspiracy thing going on or any nonsense like that, it's just that I'd really like to know what happened for sure and certain.
