i'm bill hemmer, the o'reilly factor starts right now. >> bill: bill hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching the factor tonight. the talking points memo about the government protecting us from terrorism and gun crime will be in the third segment because we have an amazing breaking story tonight out of boston. and we leave the broadcast with the latest. the stunning turn of events. in a press conference held this afternoon, the fbi directly asked the public, you guys, for help in bringing the boston terrorists to justice. the bureau has identified two men. there they are. saying they are suspects in monday's bombing. the men were seen on boylston street just before the explosions. the images are clear. can you see them here. the problem is the authorities don't know who these men are. >> today we are enlisting the public's help to identify the two suspects. after a very detailed analysis of photo, video, and other evidence, we are releasing photos of these two suspects. they are identified as suspect 1 and suspect 2. they appear to be associated. suspect 1 is wearing a dar

my colleague bill hemmer is in of the bon -- boston. do we know why the f.b.i.ostponed the update? >> it may happen tonight as you mentioned in the top of the broadcast. it was postponed, that was the official gird we got. a number of employees in the courthouse was evacuated and then business was called off. that was the public explanation. as you point out this is something we waited for, for hours trying to verify and confirm information or cross check it. it was a great source of information and we hoped to have that now and for the moment it has not happened. maybe it happens tonight. if not tonight perhaps tomorrow. >> do we have the sense of the best clues so far? >> fox news confirmed that authorities are looking at a still image or frame grab as we call it in television. moments before the first explosion went off 2:50 monday afternoon. it is that image they believe is described as a young man, not a suspect. a young man carrying a black duffel bag. there could have been a bomb, perhaps the second bomb in what is believed to be the moment of that partic

bill hemmer we interrupted your reporting a moment ago.et's go back to you. >> reporter: no, problem. i wanted viewers to understand that based on our location here in boston's back bay, i90 the massachusetts turnpike literally runs right underneath us here and boylston street is off to my right. you cannot go 30 seconds without hearing a siren, and this has been the pattern for the last hour. whether it leads to the capture of this man i do not know and cannot say at the moment. something i can moving on the story and let's hope they this zeroed in on their guy. what is stunning to watch here jones is i just showed you the finish line down behind me and the metal barricades behind me. that goes west to east along boylston street. the runners on the marathon in monday afternoon would have been headed that direction down boylston street to the finish line. what the fbi told us yesterday is that they saw the explosives being dropped, two separate bombs, one planted by this 19-year-old from russia heading westbound on boylston street. it is c

now, we're going to head back to bill hemmer. we've heard from several people, law enforcement in boston. we find that no claims of responsibility, range of suspects wide open and president will travel there on thursday. are you surprised there is so little new information? >> reporter: i tell you, eric, we live in a 24-hour cable news world and filled with twitter and facebook and the internet. it's been 27 hours right about this moment here. it's only been 27 hours. the american people wanted it solved. the people of boston want answers. certainly the f.b.i. and the police working this story want it solved immediately. it does not appear to be the case at the moment. i thought one of more telling moments, when they lean on the public even harder what they described earlier. qtd for video and pictures. in this press conference they did not hold back. someone knows someone else that is preparing for a possible attack. they talked about recalling and jogging their memories if they heard noises of explosions that perhaps went off i

bill hemmer is the co-host of america's news room live in boston. bill, what is the latest with the forensics investigation as we now know it? >> reporter: good afternoon, megyn, so many times in stories like these when they are this young, only 22 hours old now, it is as important to say what we cannot report as much as we can say we are reporting. i tell you that because of this: the massachusetts governor, deval patrick said today there were no other unexploded devices found. even late last night there were reports that two to five other unexploded packages were on streets of boston. that's simply not true. second, no other known additional threats that's new this morning as well, and also, no one said to be in custody, on i'll talk more about that in a moment the, but part of the -- part of this investigation it is the forensics and it's also talking to eyewitnesses who were here yesterday. and during the briefing earlier today, at least half a dozen times, they implored the public if you have pictures, if you have video if you've seen anything,

. >> bill: breaking news now as i'm bill hemmer in for shepard smith. we are watching enormous development in a marathon attack only two hours ago the fbi releasing video of two suspects at the scene of monday's bombings and they called them suspects. that video shows two men in baseball caps. walking down boylston street in the direction of the marathon finish line. the fbi has named them suspect one and suspect 2, suspect 1 wearing a dark hat, suspect 2 a white hat. they are both carrying bags. and the fbi special agency in charge said that suspect 2 in the white hat set down a backpack at the site of the second explosion in front of the forum restaurant at 755 boylston street. both suspects are perhaps the most wanted men in america. you will see these images many times in the coming hours. and days until these men are caught. so study them carefully. because as the fbi put it today, somebody knows who these guys are. >> we know the public will play a critical role in identifying and locating these individuals. somebody out there knows these individu

bill hemmer, keeping track of it all in boston. bill, what's the latest? the local courthouse about an hour ago. and for that reason, just a scare now, just a panic call in the end it was all clear. but for that reason, that's why the fbi is saying that this press conference that had been scheduled for 5:00 has now been postponed does that mean postponed an hour or several hours or even to today, tomorrow, that's something we don't know. great source of information. we in the media here in boston and folks all across the country have been waiting for this briefing. for the moment it will not happen and we do not know when it will happen. as for the information, we can report right now we do believe that investigators have an image through a photograph or web cam or surveillance camera of a person they want to talk, to described as a young man, what age is not given and an identity of that person has not been given. we do know that no arrests have been made. we are watching each part of this puzzle come together. perhaps in the coming hours it will, neil, h
