“Our collective law enforcement team has pursued thousands leads and tips. As I said two days ago, we are working methodically and with a sense of urgency to identify those responsible for the bombings. Within the last day or so, through that careful process, we initially developed a single person of interest. Not knowing if the individual was acting alone or in concert with others, we obviously worked with extreme purpose to make that determination. The entire force of the federal government, the FBI in Boston and around the world, as well as our partners in the Boston Police, ATF, Massachusetts State Police, and the more than 30 agencies of the Joint Terrorism Task Force, have set about to ensure that all responsible for the bombings will be brought to justice.
“More importantly, it was done to ensure the future safety of the city, the commonwealth and the country. Indeed, through that process, the FBI developed a second suspect”.
Authorities started the manhunt after an officer was killed at the believe two suspects involved are the same men who allegedly planted bombs that killed three in the Boston Marathon Monday.
One was shot dead early Friday, and the other is still on the loose, authorities said.
Suspect number is still at large in the Boston suburb of Watertown. Dozens of officers from local, state and federal law enforcement agencies are out tracking down Suspect 2 him down stated transit police spokesman Paul MacMillan.
