Now that a Saudi man who was injured in one of the explosions at the Boston Marathon is no longer under suspicion, two brothers of Chechen ethnicity have been identified as the alleged bombers. The older of the two, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, has been killed in a shootout with police. The younger man Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, has remained at large. The two are reported to have killed an MIT police officer, wounded another policeman, and thrown explosives at police during a car chase.
Fox News reports the second suspect to be "down", inside a boat or a shed behind a house, and surrounded by police.
