4:04 pm
those recovery, namely the thrift police officer richard donohue. >> exactly. there's reason to be optimism for his recovery. he was fully engaged in a gun battle with the two bombing suspects. he was hit by a single bullet to the leg. it didn't hit a bone, sever nerves, but it severed three arteries, including the major one, the femoral artery. he lost so much blood his heart stopped. took doctors 45 minutes to get his heart beating again, but now that he's bouncing back his brother is expressing nothing but pride. >> as a brother, fellow officer, and as an american i cannot describe the pride i have how dick, other officers, and emergency personnel acted early friday morning. with complete disregard to their own safety, officers withstood a barrage of gunfire and explosives more reminiscent of a war zone than a quiet suburban street. >> and there was a wake today

bethlehem. brand-new video of the final moments of 19-year-old dzhokhar tsarnaev who was on the run. the thermal imaging showing him lying in the bottom of that boat in a man's backyard. that's where they cornered him as you know. you can see the explosions. those are the flash bang grenades officers fired to stun the suspect before grabbing him. tsarnaev remains in the hospital at this point. we're told he cannot speak at this point. he was shot in the throat, we do know that. boston police commissioner ed davis says the suspects had apparently planned to hit more soft targets. >> it's possible, that we have already searched the locations directly connected with the two brothers. they clearly had other explosives. they detonated those explosives at the scene of the arrest and shootout in watertown. we feel they had plans to use those explosives, possibly on soft targets. >> friday was a crazy day as
4:10 pm
they hunted this guy. adam housley is live outside beth israel hospital in boston. adam, the suspect is there, as we know, and apparently in serious condition. what's the latest? >> yes. the hospital put out a statement finally on his condition. it mimics what we hear from the fbi, the governor, the mayor, that the suspect is in serious condition, sedated, and unable to talk at this point. as for his injuries, we're told there are a number of injuries. some superficial injuries, of course, but also at least two gunshot wounds. one is to the head or neck area. they haven't been specified to us. the other one potentially is to his leg. we do know he had at least one of those gunshots for nearly 24 hours from that first shootout, and that he bled a lot. that led to one. his major issues they had t deal with when finally broht him with here, was the fact that he had lost a lot of blood over the course of that time. harris? >> i wanto go back to the victims now.
4:11 pm
feel the suspect soaked up a lot of time with the chase, but so many people want to focus in now on how people are doing, theye praying for them across the country. some ofhem, i understand, were actually taken to the hospital where you are now. >> yeah, taken to a numberf hospitals, of course, because there were so many people injured. as the suspect was brought here, in the se hospital where they were working to save his life on fridayight, they continued to keep him alive here as of tay on sunday, there are people here recovering from thinjuries from the blast that he aldly caused, the two blasts he allegedly caused on monday. the hospital keeps names and detailrivate, that's the way it goes with patient/client situatn, but tell us people are getting better. that's a great thin to see here as people continue to recovery. some serious injuries in a lot of cases. more minor ones in other ones, but they're getting better each and every day. harris? >> adam housley, thank you very much. right now words from a dad about a son accused of that attack on

4:16 pm
>> harris: fox news confirming no charges will be filed against the surviving suspect in the boston marathon bombing. there are enormous questions tonight right now about how that 19-year-old suspect is going to be tried and whether he should be treated as an enemy combatant. investigators compiling their evidence. massachusetts governor deval patrick describing videotape from the day of the attacks that he has not seen, but that law enforcement have briefed him on. >> it does seem to be pretty clear that this suspect took the backpack off, pickup truck it down, did not react when the first explosion went off, and then moved away from the backpack in time for the second explosion. so pretty -- pretty clear about
4:17 pm
his involve., anment, pretty chg frankly. >> who wants him tried as a enemy combatant? >> senator john mccain and pete king, to name a few. >> are there other explosives throughout? where did they get their radicalization? are there imams we should be meeting with? who did his brother meet with when in chechnya? the public safety exception will expire in 48 hours and then he can lawyer up and stay quiet. >> that's what happened to the nigerian that tried to blow up the plane on christmas eve. within 10 hours he was read his miranda rights.
4:18 pm
critics on capitol hill say the intelligence community was unable to fine him for information as to how the empty developed. the underwear bomber eventually convicted and in super max prison in colorado. harris? >> harris: federal authorities tried to sake him alive unlike his brother who published in thy were really trying hard. why is it difficult to get that designation as an enemy combatant? >> well, for one, he's an american citizen. by law he can't be sent to guantanamo bay, can't be tried in a military commission. there are cases where americans were deemed enemy combatants and tried to federal court. jose padilla for one. in the case of dzhokhar tsarnaev authorities have not found a link to an al-qaeda-linked group, and therefore no court in the u.s. would necessarily uphold the president as commander in chief as designating him an enemy combatant.
4:19 pm
legally this would be shaky, i'm told, by experts. even if the alleged bomber is deemed an enemy combatant, he still has a right to an attorney. he doesn't have to talk unless he wants to. there are limited means that u.s. interrogators have at their disposal. >> that 48-hour is not an absolute fixed time period. oh, by the way, even in military commissions, which have not secured any convictions really against anyone since 9/11 there's a right to counsel and there are procedures, too, all of which keep getting tested. >> enemy combatants having nothing to do with military commissions. >> the question the justice department refuses to answer is whether the clock started ticking in terms of the 48-hour rule once he was taken into custody on friday night. harris? >> harris: interesting, because that would be, as we heard, expiring at this point. jennifer griffin, thank you very much. a bipartisan group of senators unveiled their immigration plan the same week last week as the twin bombings as you know, and
4:20 pm
attacks allegedly carried out by the two brothers, the tsarnaev brothers, who came from overseas to make a life here on u.s. soil. could concerns about security affect the latest efforts to repair a system that so many people say needs to be reformed? we'll take a look. also it just may be the most famous boat in our country right now, used by one of the boston bombing suspects to make his last stand, as you know. here's the thermal imaging, but that boat was destroyed during the standoff. now the owner of that vessel getting an incredible show of support, including financial support from across the country, and parts of the town literally @wiped often the map. west, texas, a fertilizer plant explosion. we'll have the latest on the investigation. ♪
4:22 pm
4:24 pm
>> harris: new reaction from the father of the two boston bombing suspects speaking from his home in russia. he told the associated press in a telephone interview now that he never would have let his sons stay in the united states if he had any suspicions about them. >> if i ever had any sus suspicions, i wouldn't have let them there. i told dzhokhar that he will come back, we will be here for some time, and then we will go back, because i needed to pay for the studies and we would be there together. >> harris: in that same interview we're told the father said the plan was for his younger son to become a doctor. the terror attack in boston shedding new light on the ongoing debate over immigration reform in this country. both bombing suspects immigrated legally to the united states as children. some critics say a bipartisan plan by the so-called gang of eight senators on the hill would only make the u.s. more vulnerable while others believe the bill's use of background checks would make us all safer. indiana republican senator dan coates talking about it on this
4:25 pm
sunday saying the immigration system is in fact broken, but wants to pause progress on any new legislation in the wake of the boston bombings. >> just push it back a month or two. let the emotions settle down, do it in a rational way, and make good judgments not based on the urgency of the moment. congress has a way of just rushing to judgments without thinking it through carefully. >> harris: steve, what kind of reaction is senator coats getting from his colleagues on the hill? >> except for iowa senator chuck grassley who voiced a similar concern on friday, there's almost universal opposition to the idea of budget immigration on the -- the idea of putting immigration on the back burner. some suggest it's partisan politics. >> they're using this as an excuse. we're not going to let them do that. if they have a suggestion as to
4:26 pm
change it based on what happened in boston, we're open to it, but we're not going to let them use what happened in boston as an excuse because our law toughens things up. >> there's another hearing on immigration tomorrow on capitol hill. harris? >> harris: before i let you go, the senator just said there, chuck schumer, said this would toughen things up. what does he mean? >> yeah. well, it imposes extra background checks on immigrants here illegally, and cleans up the visa system. this bill would impose a choke on departing passengers to find out who's left and who's still here who shouldn't be. >> now is the time to bring all the 11 million out of the shadows and find out who they are. most of them are here to work, but we may find some terrorists in our midst hiding in the shadows when it comes to the entry/exit visa system. the 19 hijackers were all students who overstayed their visas, and the system didn't
4:27 pm
capture that. >> he says the boston bombings should encourage congress to work more quickly on immigration, not to slow down. harris? >> harris: opposite views indeed. steve, thank you very much. a threat that's coming very quickly. people in several states are watching the water rise and fearing it with their lives. it's already been a very tough start to the spring flood and melting season. why it could get much worse in the days ahead. developing news on "the fox report" as well. we can confirm the boston terror suspect will not face charges tonight. he's in the hospital. we're told he's not speaking at this point. an interrogation team, though, is standing by. that's what we're learning. we'll go to boston for the latest.

4:32 pm
were disclosed publicly. tragically, officer collier from the mit police was murdered by these individuals as they started their rampage. >> but that's where -- that's what i'm getting at. >> i just want to say -- >> go ahead, sir. >> i just want to say on officer collier, i believe that he was attacked, and his murder led to our apprehension of these individuals. tragically he paid with his life, but these individuals were out to kid other people. i think that we forced their hand by putting their pictures out there. i think that's what started the rampage. officer collier is a hero. >> harris: there he is, officer collier. as we told you earlier, worked for the mit campus police department, 26 years old, allegedly gunned down by the bombing suspects as he sat in his cruiser while responding to a robbery at a nearby 7-eleven. craig boswell outside fenway park for us in boston.
4:33 pm
craig, boston's mayor no doubt wants to get his city back to normal. he says he has a way to do it. what is it? >> right. good evening to you, harris. there's a number of things that he wants to do, and certainly wants to do them as quickly as possible. one is getting boylston street fully open again. there's still a six-block area still shut down, still a crime scene. they talked about a five-part plan in order to get that portion -- to get all of that reopened. number one, they'll have to do biohazard testing there, environmental testing. they'll have to go through and do structural testing, making sure structures are safe. they'll have to remove debris, blast debris, people that left items there. they'll have to flush the hydrants through. step four is a limited reentry of some of the businesses along there, so they can get their businesses ready to open, and then the reopening to everyone there along boylston street. there are memorials on both sides. they'll have to remove the memorials and make a permanent
4:34 pm
place for those somewhere eventually. >> harris: craig, i'm curious, you're outside fenway park right now. security obviously tight throughout the boston area and their suburbs. what's it like at that iconic area where you are? >> right, of course, you know, security is tight going in, but there's no feeling of animosity when you're going in and everything is being searched. in fact people are going along, and they will pat police officers on the back. you know, this is all one big happy family out here going to a baseball game, trying to stay safe at the same time. watching baseball and getting this all back up, a double-header today, it's a lot like therapy for everyone here. they're happy to see the police presence, not just here, but across the city. >> harris: yeah. you know, a lot of talk about how sports are helping to heal. we'll talk more about that later. for now, thank you very much, craig boswell. good to see you. many counties declared disaster areas as i bring you this news

4:45 pm
that sparked this whole thing. >> extremely difficult, because the blast site was cleared by the explosion, how much debris and investigative evidence is left. a media crew at long last was allowed up close to the site, and that's why we have the pictures we do today. you can see a train car there carrying ammonium nitrate. that explosion fused the rail tracks right there. 50 or so investigators trying to call across a 36 square-block blast zone. they haven't discovered where the fire started, and aren't able to discover what could have started it. that's a difficult job. the authorities saying they might have a few words on that in the next three or four days, but it's proven to be a difficult job. they have discovered the crater. it's too large to measure, we hear. harris? >> harris: just a reminder of how tough last week was for this country. we pray for the people in texas as well. dominic, thank you very much. a terror arrest in chicago. it happened at chicago's o'haree
