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.

Update:
They are engaged in a foot pursuit, near the Arsenal Mall.

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...

Robbery and MIT shootings took place at the sane time but were not related. MBTA officer also shot. Also BPD 1 is very active patched to 8TAC93
