After Long, Tense Day Boston Suspect in Custody
April 20,2013
Police in Boston apprehended one of the men suspected of having planted the bombs that exploded earlier this week at the Boston Marathon, killing three people and injuring 170. The arrest followed a massive manhunt in which nearly a million people in Boston and neighboring towns were placed under lockdown.
The capture of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev prompted celebrations after police were given the stand down order. Mayor Thomas Menino announced the arrest.
"Today, because of the hard work of so many individuals, by Boston police, working together with the state police we have a conclusion that we're all satisfied with," said Menino.
It was a happy finish to what had been a long and tense day for the city of Boston and its suburbs. Throughout the day the streets had been eerily deserted in the financial heart of this historic city.
A lockdown and mass transit shutdown left stranded travelers frightened and forlorn.
It was here, in the suburb of Watertown the night before, that the suspects in the Marathon attack hurled explosives at police during a firefight that killed one officer and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, suspects older brother.
A once ordinary suburban shopping center became a staging ground in the hunt for the younger brother, and a stake out for the global and local media covering the drama.
