I worked in that town for over ten years, have many friends and acqaintances in Watertown. Thankfully it has ended without any further injury.
I hope the boater has insurance!

""Gunfire erupted shortly this evening in Watertown, Mass., where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, was believed to have been spotted by a man checking on his boat.""

Think about that the next time your wife laughs at you for going out to look at your boat, again.

The Admiral asked me about that . . . I said, a boat owner has been cooped up in the house all day on 'shelter in place' . . . once able to go outside, the first thing he would do is go look at his boat :D !?!?! Makes perfect sense.

For most of the day this has been a gripping saga. I am happy they got him alive so we can learn what the heck drove it. Where and what changed for them to go extreme.

Absolutely. I think the drunks might be escorting the cops out of the bars tonight. Well done, boys.

"from horrific to heroic". Well done Bostonians.

Three percussion grenades, and a gun fight. Wonder how the CL ad for the boat will read?

I wonder if the boat owner is an iBoats member ? The next chapter will be WHY these two did what they did !

With all the gun fire I wonder how many bullet holes the boat has in it.

Exactly what I was thinking. There was at least one serious exchange that I heard. Probably 30+ rounds.

Yeah, that looks like a pretty nice boat. At the very least, he's got a bunch of blood to clean up. Be a shame if it's full of holes.

The police did a great job of trying to find the suspect. They asked for help from the citizens and they got that too. Everybody worked together for a happy ending...well except for the boat

Yup, apparently it is a 20 foot boat. It took lots of gun fire and flash bangs . . .

The police made it difficult for the guy to move around freely in the greater Boston area during the day on Friday . . . no public transportation, people to stay in their homes, businesses closed, etc. Otherwise, the guy might have been able to get further away, and that would have been a huge problem. Nice job to all.

Re: Hope all our Boston

Just wanted to post an update on the onefundboston that is raising money to support the victims of the Boston marathon bombing . . .

over $54million raised. That is an impressive amount in just 2 months time.

I have not seen any news updates regarding Mr. Henneberry's boat though.
