Tsarnaev brothers
Early Friday morning, police had a stand-off with Tamerlan and Dzhokar Tsarnaev that lead to Tamerlan being killed and Dzhokar being on the run. Although we had some information as to what kind of car they stole, that Tamerlan was dead, etc. there were many rumors circulating of a suicide vest, explosives, an arsenal of guns, and more. The Watertown, Massachusetts, police chief is now speaking out and confirming what happened that morning. Read more below.

A police officer spotted the two cars that the brothers were driving and upon them stopping, he called for back-up but was too late. Once they stopped their cars, the both brothers stepped out with guns blazing shooting at the officer. Soon, five other officers arrived on scene for assistance. A total of 200 shots fired in a five- to 10-minute span. We now know that handguns, a rifle, and six explosives were on the brothers Friday morning. Three of the six explosives were thrown at police and exploded.
