7:09 pm
occasion and fireworks were going off for us. >> yeah. i remember hearing a couple loud noises and at first i thought it was thunder. natalee's eyes got as big as saucers. >> a police officer immediately stopped me and i yelled at him, i'm a doctor, i need to be at the finish line. >> all of a sudden, to my left the first bomb went off. i pretty much decided to turn and run so i turned to my right to run away and i ended up running right into the second bomb. >> of course, the first explosion goes off, everybody -- i said everybody get in the street and i, you know, headed toward the guard rail myself and at some point in hopping the guard rail, boom, the bomb goes off. that's what happened to me. threw me in the street five or six feet. >> when the second one went off, i could feel the impact of the explosion. i landed kind of with my left leg out and my right leg tucked
7:10 pm
under me. there were a lot of people running by screaming and yelling. i basically thought i was going to end up dying there because i could see blood coming out and everybody was just so freaked out by what was going on. it was just a very surreal feeling. >> something said get up, jared, get up. i got up and seen my hand was damaged and i could see the back of my leg was damaged. i was trying to get to the middle of the street because, you know, one bomb, two bombs, logically i felt like there was going to be another one. >> i got to where the second bombsight was. i could taste the metal and blood so thick and there was so much of it. immediately started working on a young woman who was on the ground, horrible lower extremity injuries. packing her, people were packing her wounds and started cpr on
7:11 pm
her. in hopes, you know, of saving her. tragically, she did not survive. >> i basically got filled with shrapnel from my butt to ankles and turned around and seen gruesome stuff. i looked back at my friends and assumed they were dead. jp and paul and mark lost a limb and it was pretty rough. >> initially, i don't think i was in any pain but then it kind of all started to kick in. a college student came out of nowhere and really basically picked me up off the sidewalk telling me i had to get out of there. someone helped him do a tourniquet on my leg and then a police officer came and, she was kind of keeping me calm and really holding my hand and just -- she kept telling me i
7:12 pm
had a leg but she didn't know how bad the injury was. >> seven or eight of us were veterans and i served in iraq three times, and immediately, the response was yeah, that's an iud. helping people on the sidewalk where the bomb went off, i eventually found rose ann in the middle of boylston street. >> i let out a yell like nobody's business. every time i heard a siren coming closer, i would be like this is going to be my ride. this is it. they are going to take me to the hospital and it would pass us and my heart would sink and i kind of -- i'm like i'm going to die. >> ambulance made a left hand turn and went flying by us. it was full from the first explosion. at that point, you know, it was heart breaking just to, wow, what do we do now? at that moment, a police prisoner transport showed up. we got rose ann in and that was
7:13 pm
the ride to the hospital. >> i ran to another woman who was on the ground laying very cold, very still, but she was alive and awake and treated a wound that she had in her groin. really needed to be there somebody tremendous tremendous trejoginy. >> at the peak of it when we had a maximum number of patients, we had five fully equipped ready to go trama teams ready to go. >> any more coming? >> we understand that all of the patients have now been transported so they should be in area hospitals. >> when i looked across the three or four patients that i could see, i immediately recognized really the same types and pattern of injury that i had seen hundreds or thousands of times deployed in iraq and afghanist
7:14 pm
afghanistan. there was no question this was an imp vised explosive device. >> it's now a crime scene. the residue from the explosions to determine the type of explosives, origin and as well as whether these devices contained shrapnel and that's a clue? >> this is an act of terrorism. >> when you see ball bearings. >> this is the president. >> we still do not know who did this or why and people shouldn't jump to conclusions before we have all the facts. boston is a tough and resilient town, so are its people. i'm supremely confident boston people will pull together take care of each other and move forward as one proud city and as they do, the american people will be with them every single step of the way. >> the day after the marathon
7:15 pm
bombings, dzhokhar tsarnaev was back in school living the life of a normal kid. tamerlan was a boxer and well-known and been in this community for awhile. he was sort of the more riggarious of the two. you look at the tweets and tweeting and making references to the bombing talking about the city and the impact on the city. >> we have a press conference now about to begin. the fbi and local authorities in boston. >> i'm going to make a couple comments and turn it over to rick who is the special agent in charge of the fbi's office here. the city of boston is open and will be open tomorrow, but it will not be business as usual. it will be a heightened law enforcement presence consistent with the severity and seriousness of the on going investigation. >> the device at the jfk library was actually a fire. we haven't linked that directly to this incident. right now this incident consists
7:16 pm
of two explosions that occurred on boylston street. >> the fbi is taking the lead until the investigation. it will do so through the boston joint terrorism task force. it a criminal investigation that has the potential, is a potenti potential terrorist investigation. >> we're not trying to jump the gun, a saudi national, what can you tell us about it? >> the information we can report is the boston police are saying they do not have a suspect in custody. >> a day of unthinkable consequences. 130 injured after the bombing. two bombs exploding near the finish line, knocking runners and spectators off their feet. smoke billowing from the scene as first responders scrambled to get to the injured. definitely was terrorism. we don't know if it's home grown or foreign, but definitely terrorism and intended to hurt a lot of people and indeed, it did. >> it is midnight in boston. i'm sheppard smith with
7:17 pm
continuing coverage of the attack at the boston marathon. tonight, blocks and blocks of the city are shut down. it's a debris field with shattered glass and belongings, crime scene drenched in human blood. >> the sun just coming up here over a very stunned city. this is the street where it happened, boylston street just a few blocks down. >> the morning following the bombing, there was a lot of people out, people walking their dogs and running. a lot of runners felt like they were going to show the city and show all of america they weren't scared to be on the streets and runnin running. >> chilling new yesterday's terror attack with the attack on the streets we're live with the brand-new developments overnight. >> there were no unexploded
7:18 pm
devices found. more than 150 people injured yesterday in the blast. some gravely. >> any information you have, videos or photographs that happened, not just at that scene but anywhere in the immediate vicinity could be helpful to this investigation. >> bad day for boston, but i think if we pull together, we'll get through it. we're a strong city. boston will overcome. >> we learned that the saudi national that was tackled is cleared as a possible suspect. >> this was a heinous and cowardly act and given what we now know what took place the fbi is investigating it as an act of terrorism. >> we believe at this hour that the bomber is still on the loose but learning about new clues found at the terror scene. remanence of pressure cookers
7:19 pm
were found. this style of bomb used frequently in afghanistan. >> among items partially recovered are pieces of black nylon that could be from a backpack and what appear to be fragments of bee bees and nails, possibly contained in a pressure cooker device. doctors here at mass mass general say they are pulling nails and ball bearings out of the victims, mostly ball bearings, nails like spikes. >> my left and right hand got damaged. you know, pretty severely, burns, i got burns on high legs, my left eardrum got blown out. >> my right hand was burnt from my wrist up, and the weird part is it didn't dawn on me i had other injuries. >> roseanne lost most of her blood volume in the street, more in the operating room before we stopped the bleeding. she's lucky to be alive. >> i know they operated immediately on monday afternoon, two surgeries to my leg, a
7:20 pm
surgery to my abdomen. >> three or four surgeries and i still have a little shrapnel in me. more so than that, i'm very fortunate. >> on tuesday afternoon they brought me out of i guess an induced coma to let me know, you know, what had happened and had actually told me they had amputated -- sorry. >> god wasn't in the violence and evil that took place on boylston street near the finish line yesterday. >> good morning, everybody. today is wednesday, april 17th. look at this photo right here. could that be the bomb? >> these pictures, incredible showed what happened just prior to the blast and photos from directly after the blast. at this point in time there are over 2,000 tips provideed to fbi authorities.
7:21 pm
at this point in time there is no climb of responsibility for these attacks. >> we're told more than 30,000 social media messages were collected within a one-mile radius of the finish line from 24 hours before to 24 hours after the explosions with twitter and facebook lighting up. >> social media was used to a great degree to really help along the way as well as hurt. people were scouring faces in the crowd saying is this the person? the news is breaking in connection with the boston terror attack. bill hemmer live and since the past 45 minutes we learned several facts including at least, at least confirmation that they have identified a suspect. >> fox 25 our boston affiliate is saying they are getting their information through the associated press. what does that mean? does that mean the associated press is reporting what the boston globe is reporting? one feeds off the other media outlet. >> i remember when we saw there was a tweet of saying suspects
7:22 pm
in custody. >> we all started to call each other because clearly the boston police had not made an arrest. >> we want to get to the courthouse where these people wo would be taken. >> the state police hadn't made an arrest. >> there were hundreds of people showing up in front of the courthouse to get a glimpse of the marathon bombers. >> quickly we got on social media to knock down the false report. >> then the bomb threat called into the courthouse and i remember vividly because there was a daycare center in the area where they were pushing cribs frantically down the street. >> let's go! let's go! >> it turns out it was all a false alarm. no arrests, we were back to square one. >> the boston federal courthouse where security officials moments ago ordered an evacuation. what the heck was going on, mike? >> neil, all of the chaos at the courthouse is probably an exception of the high tension here in boston and how high the
7:23 pm
tension is among the media. you have the tips an arrest had been made, hadn't been made. >> we were in such a black news hole that day on a major story, i've never seen anything like it. >> we're not asking -- >> the one thing we were getting prom the fbi at this point was information that whatever photos you've seen, it's not the guy. >> the only thing worse than managing a mass gcasualty incident is inserting upon that a visit from the president. the president turned to me and said so, dr. king, how do you think it's going? i said mr. president, i think it's going well, you inspire them, and he turned to me and said no, no, no you have it all wrong. he said they inspire me. >> when the president came to the city for the service, we found a crowd that was gathered at a bar. it was really one of the most remarkable moments that i've ever experienced as a boston.
7:24 pm
every person at the bar stopped and turned to the tv. >> today our prayers are with the campbell family of medford, they are here today, their daughter crystal was always smiling. our prayers are with the lu family of china who sent their daughter tobu so that she could experience all that the city has to offer. and our hearts are broken for eight-year-old martin with his big smile and bright eyes. our prayers are with andrew, so many wounded, some gravely. we will all be with you as you
7:25 pm
learn to stand and walk and yes, run again and that i have no doubt you will run again. [ applause ] >> we do have this exclusive development at 5:00. the fbi will in fact, release images of the suspects and fox 25 has obtained a photo of a suspect. >> there is talk one of the bombers could be wearing a white cap, and so as we were scouring this picture, that clued us in. the picture was striking because he's looking away from the race. >> and it appeared now that suddenly the fbi decided it was within their interest to relose information. >> today we're enlisting the public's help to identify the two suspects. after a very detailed analysis of photo, video and other evidence, we're releasing photos of these two suspects. they are identified as suspect one and suspect two. they appear to be associated.
7:26 pm
suspect one is wearing a dark hat, suspect two is wearing a white hat. suspect two set down a backpack at the site of the second explosion just in front of the restaurant. >> as soon as they released those photos, it shook them out of hiding. >> whoever did this is out there and all of a sudden putting the pictures out there. are the suspects going to panic and take off? twitter lit up. i've seen those hats. i think i may have seen that person. >> there was a text on the 18th, one of the young men said hey, you look like the guy in the surveillance video. and he texted back lol. like as if it's some kind of joke and headacmakes a ref pran may not come back, take what you want. >> the friends are accused of going to the room and removing a
7:27 pm
backpack and items that included empty fireworks and a lap tap and ultimately the fireworks ended up in a dumpster and tossed out. >> identifying and locating those responsible is now our highest priority. >> sean was only ever going to be a police officer. it was part of being part of the community and serving them. it made us nervous, of course, it's a dangerous job. when he left for the day, he drove past where sean had stationed his car and rolled down his window and said something like be safe tonight and sean said, just keeping everybody in line, sir, and i think that was the last conversation that they had. >> mike, that video, those pictures bounced around the world. everybody has seen them. >> federal investigators and joint terrorism task force exhausted the promising leads and went to the public to get new leads. >> they wanted to put pressure on the suspects and force them out of hiding because when the
7:28 pm
suspect is on the move, that is when they are the most vulnerable. >> that's ultimately what caused them to boil up to the surface. >> fox news alert, reports of gunshots on the campus of mit. >> receiving calls for shots fired at 32 vassar street. >> the situation is active and extremely dangerous. >> mike stayed in the truck. i jumped in my rental car and drove over to mit. >> my sister called me and said that on twitter, that there was a report that there were -- there was a gunman at mit. with every new piece of information that came out, it could be sean. first a cambridge police officer and then said it was an mit police officer. >> if you could respond to 32 vassar start. reports of an officer down. >> a police officer has been shot. might not be connected with the bolling at all. >> we made the decision not to
7:29 pm
call mom hoping she was sleeping. call waiting beeped and it was my mom and i clicked over and i could hear her crying. i said was it sean? >> cpr in progress. >> they are telling us off the record, there is no indication this is connected in any way. we'll get someone out here shortly and we'll talk to you guys but just back up. you can get close to where officers are across the street, we're searching in the bushes for clues and started to push back. >> he was on patrol, pulled over to the side of the road, somehow the suspects got close to him and engaged him firing a shot and killing him. >> what they did was gutless. it was a sucker punch. there was no gun battle. officer collier never had a chance. they walked up behind him and put a bullet in him, several of them and proved how enough they
7:30 pm
were because they couldn't undo the lock on the holster. >> the best break is when a suspect makes a critical mistake and that happened in boston. >> she said he's been shot. and i don't know what kind of shape he's in but you need to get to mass general hospital because i don't know if you'll see him again. >> as we would later come to understand from danny, you know, the carjacking began roughly a half hour after the shooting. young entrepreneur, chinese immigrant came here for grad school, pulled over to answer a text message. before he knew it, this guy got out of the car and approaching the passenger side door. the guy reached in with a gun and let himself in the car and he was being carjacked by tamron tsarnaev. he said the bombing, i did that and shot a policeman in cambridge. >> notified in roll call on the 18th going into the 19th that
7:31 pm
there was a police officer shot in cambridge. officer calier, we were told that he was shot in a robbery at a 7/11. we know now that that is not true. >> i think it was really important to see him, and to be able to say goodbye to him there, but it's an image that lasts. >> go to an atm, take out money on danny's atm card. he is like how do i get out of the car? >> dangerous and cold-blooded i'm sure he probably wasn't going to get out alive. he was nervous. heart was boupounding. trying to drive and would set out on what would become an hour and a half journey. the threat of death very real
7:32 pm
to, pointing a gun at him and threatening to kill him and turned down one-way streets where he thought this is the place where they are going to kill me. they were speaking a language that danny didn't understand but he could hear them say manhattan and asked him in english can your car go out of state to new york? danny thought in the back of the car was luggage but we know it was more explosives. they were driving around. the car is on empty. they cam back to cambridge where there is two side by side gas stations and pull into the shell station, gets out to fill the pump and it's just danny and tamerlan in the car. tamerlan took the gun he sometimes pointed at gun knee and put it in the pocket of the driver's seat and with two hands playing with the gps so danny felt like this is it. gets the will to up and do it and jumped out of the car and he said he felt like the air on his
7:33 pm
back of somebody -- of tamerlan reaching for him and cursing and he slammed the door behind it. saw the lights of the gas station across the street, but he just prayed that it was open. he sprinted across multiple lanes of the street, ran into the mobile station and called 911. tell them he had been carjacked and his car could be tracked by his iphone and the satellite system in the mercedes. >> thank god he was able to break away. he made the right decision running and the fact he got that information quick. they told them they were the marathon bombers, just basically send a red flag out. gave us the plate number and told us to be on the lookout for this vehicle that was carjacked the gunpoint. >> that was very effective in eventually capturing the two suspects. he was a very brave man. >> the black mercedes to water town.
7:34 pm
>> everybody was standing around waiting and all of a sudden, a police cruiser took off. >> i run to my car, get in my car, try and follow those officers. jump on memorial drive and the ne next thing i know, i'm in a sea of 40 or 50 police cars. like ufos in a movie, blue lights and endless streaming, sirens whaling flying faster than i had seen anybody drive. >> pyfirearms, getting cash. >> kept in the car with the suspects. >> the vehicle that was carjacked in cambridge is now in water town stopped in front of 89 dexter avenue. so officer reynolds calls out i'm out, i'm getting out on dexter avenue. >> being told water town has the motor vehicle in sight. try to put a stop on it now, go ahead. >> they have guns.
7:35 pm
>> all right. >> and at this point, the two brothers are coming in tandem, one brother in each vehicle. >> i heard officer remembynolds on the radio, shots fired, shots fired. >> i stepped on the gas. came flying down here about a mile and a half, two miles from the police station. >> breaking news unfolding right before our eyes in water town where an apparent carjacking led police on a wild chase. >> my vehicle ends upright about where the ford is right there. >> officer reynolds bails out of his car and starts throwing rounds down range. >> shots fired. >> i go off the right. can't get it out. make the decision to jump back in the vehicle, put it in drive and jump out. so i'm thinking throw it in drive. let it float down. i got behind the tree. officer reynolds sees me by the
7:36 pm
tree and says whose in the vehicle? i say don't worry about that now. we start firing rounds. as soon as the vehicle stops going by us, the loud explosion. >> we heard two loud explosions like boom, boom. we didn't know what it was and all of a sudden you see 100 cruisers pass by. >> i heard outside two gunshots and pulled my car over as where many of the officers and they went into full battle mode, drew guns and went down the street looking side to side, door to door with very serious precaution. we tried to phillip what we could in keeping distances and staying out of the way of the active investigation. >> it was an intensity you only hear in a war zone and i was hearing it right there in the middle of the night in boston. >> 322, on dexter, explosives, some type of grenades. >> the first one was shielded by the cruiser and we didn't get
7:37 pm
the blast from it. >> oh, my god. >> loud explosion, loud explosion! >> they said it was two bombs but sounded like boom, boom, boom! >> the second one was so close to me my eyes were shaking back and forth and i was afraid we wouldn't be able to see to continue firing. >> shots fired! shots fired! >> people are in bed at that time so the loud booms and rapid gunfire jolted some from a dead sleep. [ gunshots ]. >> gunshot, gunshot, gunshot, gunshot tons of them. i could see there was an explosion because the sky lit up. >> explosions being detonated. >> turns out the pressure cooker boom, a big white flash and then a very, very large plume of white smoke went up. >> being told explosions are being drawn in water town. explosions of some sort. >> we take cover, and it goes off. the percussion on it was
7:38 pm
absolutely unbelievable. >> holey crap. scary moment because it was so much louder. >> it went over the fence, through the backyard, continued through behind this house. >> i was petrified. like a movie. incredible and we're thinking we want to get out of there because of the baby. >> the two suspects didn't know i had come between the house. when tamerlan realized i was here, we engaged in gunfire here. >> on foot. on foot and firing. >> on foot firing weapons. [ gunshots ]. >> then he had a problem with hisfi firearm. i don't know if it ran out of ammunition. he stopped, looked at me, threw his gun at me, hit me in the
7:39 pm
left bicep and tamerlan turned and ran down this area here. >> i have black hat, the older brother running at me and i'm drawing down, get on the ground i'm going to kill you, shoot you and my slide is all the way back, i got no ammo. i have no ammo. he doesn't know that. >> i chased him, i don't know, 15 yards, maybe 20 yards and i tackled him out in the street. >> my first thought was jeff, get off him, bombs, he's going to blow up, get off him. he's like no, i have to kuf him. i'm not going to let him do it himself so i jump on and he was still fighting with us. after being shot eight times with a .40 cal. >> i grabbed tamerlan by the pants and belt and try to drag him out in the street and the next thing i know the headlights go right in my face, the other suspect had gotten into the vehicle. he's back in the car and he's coming at us.
7:40 pm
>> he jumped off and seen him ran over his brother, dragged him down the road and took off. >> i saw the front wheels go over tamerlan, then kind of bounced up beneath the under carriage a couple times. the rear wheels he got hung up in and dragged about 25, 20 feet and then the other suspect, the younger brother smashed into one of our park cruisers here and fled through the intersection in that stolen suv. >> i got back up and ran back over to where tamerlan was, handcuffed him. in the meantime, tamerlan still actively resisting. i just stood and put my foot in the small of tamerlan's back and held him down from rolling over and got on the radio and called for ambulance. >> in custody, ems on scene. looking for another one. >> the one suspect was critically injured, transported to the hospital and pronounced dead and an extensive manhunt is underway.
