unitteeds for about 12 years since the age of 7. he is believed to be armed and dangerous described as a terrorist as the boston chief of police and have the entire city on lockdown. the stores and schools are closed. mass transit is closed. police are outside the home of tsarnaev there in cambridge, massachusetts, on norfolk street and believe it's possible there are more explosives on the scene. it's even -- they're looking at the possibility of more accomplices, as well and want to go to abc's chief investigative correspondent brian ross for more on that. brian. >> reporter: well, george, they've imposed a no-fly zone over watertown, several thousand police, i would say, have been here going door to door trying to find this suspect. so far without success. we expect the governor, he's just pulled up over here with

heavily armed police surrounding him, as well and, in fact, before they set this up, they had dogs come through they said for our safety to make sure that we'd be safe. they continue to feel that this suspect, number two, may not be the only one they're looking for, so they're very concerned there could be other devices and other associates that are attached to this group that hit the boston marathon on monday and then, of course, the wild and violent overnight >> let's get more on this from pierre thomas in washington. pierre, as you've been reporting, brothers from chechnya, at least the two suspects we know of. >> reporter: that's the operating assumption right now, george, and just to piggyback on what briasan w saying, the situation right now, you're going to have that entire region under lockdown until they can find this second suspect. also there's concern that he might have associates, more bombs might be planted throughout the city. they are not taking any chancesl

described this as the most serious situation as you can imagine. >> and, pierre, how quickly would they be able to figure out as we've been discussing the possibility that this second suspect has been in the united states for most of his life, for the last 12 years, how quickly would they be able to develop the information on whether he's gone back to chechnya or other places overseas for that paramilitary training you were discussing earlier? >> reporter: one of the things that's happening there is a massive vacuum cleaning going on, if you will, trying to get as much information about these men as possible. they will look at their travel patterns and look at when they were in the country, when they were out of the country. that's going to take some time and they will begin to piece together, you know, how this might have been planned and how this was laid out. now, law enforcement officials are also saying that if everything about this week indicates paramilitary training, the way that the bombing took place, how calm and collected they were, also the fact that in the morning shoot-out with police that these men were throwing grenade-like devices,

you know, walking into the fire. the suspect who was shot dead walked toward police firing at them. that shows resolve. >> i want to goo mar raddatz with more on this. the suspects believed to be from chechnya, martha, originally at least in this region, the forme region o the soviet union, a hotbed of terrorists. >> reporter: we hate to speculate about motives because they had been in the united states for quite a while but as pierre pointed out whether they've gone back and forth we just don't know but they seem to have established a very permanent residence in cambridge, massachusetts. so what was going on between their homeland, if, in fact, it turns out to be chechnya and what was happening here, we just don't know. i mean, we are going through all social media, trying to look at who these men are, were in the case of the dead suspect to find out what motives they might have and i'm telling you, george,

that is exactly what they are doing in all of government in the whole of government trying to figure out what a motive might be and trying to figure out if anyone else is here, if anyone else was involved in this, if any more attacks are imminent. >> okay, martha, thanks. i want to go back to the pictures we were showing at that street believed to be the home of suspect number two as we go to linsey davis on the ground in watertown. just a terrifying night there for all the residents. >> reporter: yeah, i would say -- >> we'll go to the press conference right now. i believe governor patrick. >> a couple points i want to make and ask commissioner davis from boston and then colonel albin from the state police. we are not going to take questions at this point. i know you have a lot of questions but obviously we've had a very rapidly developing situation in the course of the night. i've been briefed throughout the night. i think you know the basics that

the suspect one is dead, suspect two is on the run. we have an mbta officer who was seriously wounded and is in surgery right now. we have an m.i.t. security officer who has been killed. there is a massive manhunt under way. a lot of law enforcement involved in that. to assist that, we have suspended all service on the mbta, our public transit service and that will continue until we think it's safe to open all or some of that. we're asking people to shelter in place, in other words, to stay indoors with their doors locked and not to open the door for anyone other than a properly identified law enforcement officer and that applies here in watertown where we are right now, also cambridge,
