CAMBRIDGE (CBS) – An MIT Police officer has died after he was shot near the Stata Center on campus Thursday night.

MIT sent out an alert to students telling them to stay indoors after the shooting.

The Middlesex DA’s office says the officer was responding to a report of a disturbance in the area of Vasser and Main streets. Authorities found him with multiple gunshot wounds.

He was transported to the hospital and pronounced dead.

No arrest has been made and the search for a suspect or suspects is ongoing. The shooting occurred at approximately 10:30 p.m.

State Police, K9 units and the Air Wing are assisting in the search.

I have been listening via the MSP TRS here in Cape Cod, it's very compelling and not since I lived in NYC have I been so riveted by the scanners.

I am listening to SOPS-3 TG 33680, which is the primary, as well as some traffic (not much) on SOPS-1 also related to the search and finally MSP Helo traffic on TG 35472.

They have one in custody and are narrowing the search for the second suspect. I hope they get this dirtbag.

Ill be the first to say it here,,I messaged coaster earlier-due to the location
it seemed really odd that a MIT cop was involved in a shooting,let alone
killed in service. i thought from the jump - in the corner of my mind that
the doers were the terror suspects.

Looks like the bad guys ARE the marathon bombers,

robbery was actually a car jacking.

Pressure cooker found at watertown crime scene

bag/case of grenades found at/near scene dealt with by EOD/SWAT

multiple shootouts in watertown,explosives used.

hundreds of shots exchanged.

IEDs are reported to have been thrown and exploded at the chasing officers.

DHS-FBI-ATF National Guard and some Spec-Ops..Multiple jurisdictions involved in manhunt.

BAD GUY that was -ACCOUNTED FOR- is thought to be dead.

2ND BAD GUY is on the run in watertown area

national news is not up to speed on this yet,

WHDH,,WCVB FOX BOSTON has coverage streaming...

The main stream media has posted almost all false info except quotes from other people. Listing to the scanner the whole duration of the incident will tell you a different story then what you will see online this morning
