The drama began to unfold Thursday night at around 10:30, with a robbery at a convenience store near MIT. Apparently both #1 and 2 were the perps ... they carjacked a Mercedes (the owner escaped) and police then engaged them in a wild chase. The suspects apparently threw explosives out of the stolen car -- possibly grenades.
Suspect 1 was hit by gunfire and died later. According to reports, #2 was also in the car but escaped. There is a massive manhunt underway, with heavily armed and protected cops going door-to-door.
The Associated Press is reporting both suspects are from Chechnya and moved to the U.S. legally though it's not clear when.
The two suspects are reportedly brothers. The suspect still on the loose is Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19.
According to reports, the suspect who was killed has been ID'd as Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26.
