Search for marathon bombing suspect locks down Watertown, surrounding communities

WATERTOWN — As an army of heavily-armed police officers continued a door-to-door search in this community for a suspect in the deadly Boston Marathon terror bomb attacks, the FBI issued a description this afternoon of a vehicle the suspect might be driving.

The search of a 20-block area of this community adjacent to Boston comes after a chaotic, violent night in which a second suspect died in a firefight with police, and one police officer was killed and another was seriously wounded. It also comes as nearly a million people in Boston and surrounding towns have been asked to lock themselves in their homes — and only open up for police officers.

Colonel Timothy Alben, head of the State Police, said in a news conference shortly after 12:30 p.m. that there had been “no apprehension at this point,” but said the situation was changing moment by moment.

Local, state, and federal law enforcement officers, including the Secret Service, are undertaking a door-to-door search of the area in Watertown. K-9 teams, explosives experts, and SWAT officers are involved, said State Police spokesman David Procopio. Alben said the search was about 60 percent complete.

Authorities cannot rule out the possibility that the suspect is wearing an explosive vest, Procopio said.

Authorities are searching for Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, a government official told the Globe this morning. The dead suspect is his brother, a separate source said. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is a native of Kyrgyzstan, the Kyrgyz state news agency said. He was studying at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, university officials said.

Alben alerted the public that there would be a controlled explosion by bomb experts this afternoon on Norfolk Street in Cambridge, where the two brothers lived. The explosions would make it safer for investigators combing through the home, he said.

In Washington, President Obama was briefed this morning in the White House Situation Room on the events in Boston, the White House said. The latest developments spread shock and alarm through a city already rattled by the bombings on Monday afternoon at the Marathon finish line that killed three and wounded more than 170.
