Suspect dead, shot by police. One officer left dead. They have completely shut down the city while they are looking for the other suspect.
Suspects are Chechen.
My daughter and her boyfriend are on lock down. She was scheduled to fly out to Vegas today for a bachelorette party. Still don't know if she'll be able to go. Luckily her boyfriend is a chef so she will be able to enjoy some nice meals while they are stuck inside. Living on the other coast leaves me shaking.
My parents and the majority of my paternal extended family live in one of the locked-down suburbs. Thank goodness for email and FB messages letting us know everyone is safe. Even happier that marathon daughter is in DC this weekend....

Can we get updates on your families? Were they in the same neighborhood?
I don't have any friends/family in Watertown but quite a few live in the adjacent suburbs of Newton, Brookline, and Belmont. Everyone is fine. My oldest went back to Boston today as the school systems return from April Vacation on Monday.
