'We got him!' Fugitive marathon bomber suspect captured after he was found hiding inside a BOAT in the backyard of a Boston home

Captured



Dzhokar Tsarnev, (pictured centre after his capture and top right), the man believed to be the terrorist behind the Boston bombings, is in custody after he was cornered in a boat in a Boston backyard. he was injured but still alive. The owner of the boat David Henneberry emerged from his house after the curfew in Boston was lifted, saw blood on the vessel, looked under the cover and discovered a person inside. He then fled back to his house and called police, according to CNN. Flash-bangs were being thrown in by police who had surrounded the area to try to flush out the suspect who appeared to have been at the location for most of the day.


The Massachusetts college student wanted in the Boston Marathon bombing was captured wounded, but alive after hiding out in a boat parked in a backyard on Friday evening.
The arrest of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev signaled the end of five days of terror set-off by the double bombing at the marathon finish line and the mayor of Boston, Thomas Menino, was quoted by the Boston Globe as taking to the police scanner to exclaim, 'We got him'.
'I have never loved this city & its people more than I do today. Nothing can defeat the heart of this city .. nothing.'
The bloody endgame came four days after the bombing and just a day after the FBI released surveillance-camera images of two young men suspected of planting the pressure-cooker explosives that ripped through the crowd at the marathon finish line, killing three people and wounding more than 180.
His older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, lay dead in a furious 24-hour drama that transfixed the nation and paralyzed the Boston area with fear.
Relieved law enforcement officers began cheering and clapping after Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was arrested and is now in a serious condition at
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and is reported to have lost a great deal of blood. 
And thousands of jubilant members of the public took to the streets of Watertown to salute FBI, SWAT, ATF and police officers as they left the scene of Tsarnaev's final showdown.
Neighbors reported that Tsarnaev was 'covered in blood' as he was taken away by law enforcement officials.
Boston police commissioner Ed Davis was celebratory in his tone as he took to Twitter to say, 'It’s a proud day to be a Boston police officer. Thank you all.'
'CAPTURED!!! The hunt is over. The search is done. The terror is over. And justice has won,' the Boston Police Department said on its Twitter account.
Police cornered the younger Tsarnaev  around 7 p.m., less than an hour after police lifted a stay-indoors order for the city and its suburbs.
A resident in his 60s, believed to be called David Hanneberry, reportedly went outside to smoke and saw the tarpaulin cover of his boat was disturbed off the top.

Checking to see what was wrong, he investigated and saw Dzhokhar Tsarnaev curled-up inside covered in blood.
He then 'freaked out' and ran inside to call police - who dispatched a helicopter which used thermal imaging to confirm there was a person inside the boat.
'He looked and noticed something was off about his boat, so he got his ladder, and he put his ladder up on the side of the boat and climbed up, and then he saw blood on it, and he thought he saw what was a body laying in the boat,' Henneberry's neighbor, George Pizzuto said to ABC News. 
'So he got out of the boat fast and called police.' 
'That boat's his baby. He takes care of it like you wouldn't believe. And they told him it's all shot up,' Pizzuto said. He's going to be heartbroken.'
Within minutes police, ATF, SWAT and K-9 units had descended upon 67 Franklin Street and engaged Tsarnaev in a vicious gun battle - over 40 shots rang out in the quiet suburban neighborhood.
'There was an exchange of gunfire,' confirmed Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis at a news conference.
Authorities, using a bullhorn, had called on the suspect to surrender: 'Come out with your hands up.'
'We used a robot to pull the tarp off the boat,' David Procopio of the Massachusetts State Police said to CNN. 'We were also watching him with a thermal imaging camera in our helicopter. He was weakened by blood loss -- injured last night most likely.'

Unconfirmed reports suggest that Tsarnaev was shot twice by law enforcement in the terrific gun battle which raged until his capture at approximately 8.45 p.m.
Law enforcement sources have suggested that Tsarnaev gave himself up voluntarily after realizing continuing resistance was fruitless.
The standoff and subsequent arrest came only minutes after authorities said during a news conference that the manhunt for the suspect appeared to come up empty.
President Barack Obama praised the outcomes but said many questions remained. He said: 'Why did young men who grew up and studied here as part of our communities and our country resort to such violence?
'We've closed an important chapter in this tragedy,' added Mr. Obama said in his televised address.
Tsarnaev is in 'serious' condition at a hospital tonight, Commissioner Davis said. 
And as the case now moves from search to justice, a senior Justice Department official told ABC News that federal law enforcement officials are invoking the public safety exception to the Miranda rights.
That means that Tsarnaev will be questioned immediately without having his rights read to him.
A rapid press conference with law enforcement officials from the Boston police commissioner to the U.S. Attorney confirmed that his Miranda rights had been waived.
Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham have called for Tsarnaev to be held as an enemy combatant.

'In this day of instant reporting, tweets, and blogs, there is a temptation to latch onto any bit of information, sometimes to jump to conclusions, but when a tragedy like this happens, with the public safety at risk and the stakes so high, it important to do this right,' Obama said. 
'That's why have an investigation, that's why we relentlessly gather the facts, that's why we have courts.' 
'Whatever hateful agenda drove these men cannot, will not prevail,' he said, 'and whatever they thought they could achieve failed because the people of Boston refuse to be intimidated, and we as Americans refuse to be terrorized.'
Overnight, the two suspects were identified by authorities and relatives as ethnic Chechens from southern Russia who had been in the U.S. for about a decade and were believed to be living in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Investigators still have given no details on the motive for the bombing.
Early on Friday morning, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a ferocious gun battle and car chase during which he and his younger brother hurled explosives at police from a stolen car, authorities said. The younger brother managed to escape.
During the getaway attempt, the brothers killed Sean Collier an MIT policeman and severely wounded another officer, authorities said.
After a tense tumultuous all-day manhunt and house-to-house search by thousands of SWAT team officers with rifles and armored vehicles, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was cornered in a homeowner's yard, where he exchanged gunfire with police while holed up in a boat, authorities said.
He was taken away on a stretcher and was hospitalized in serious condition with unspecified injuries, police said.
Just before 9 p.m., Boston police announced via Twitter that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was in custody. They later wrote: 'CAPTURED!!! The hunt is over. The search is done. The terror is over. And justice has won. Suspect in custody.'
A cheer went up from a crowd of bystanders in Watertown.
'Everyone wants him alive,' said Kathleen Paolillo, a teacher.
Boston Mayor Tom Menino tweeted 'We got him,' along with a photo of himself talking to the police commissioner.

Police officers high fived each other and shook hands at the conclusion to a day long manhunt. One police officer, a look of relief on his face, said: 'Yep, we got him.'
Chants of 'USA! USA!' broke out. In Boston, people danced in the streets outside Fenway Park.
Another officer was hugged by a woman standing at a barricade set up at a road several blocks from Franklin Street. As word quickly spread crowds cheered and clapped as the news spread.
Many stared into their smart phones as they checked on the latest updates on Twitter and local news stations. Others cheered with shout of 'Yes' echoing around.

Dozens of police walked back from Franklin Street with their weapons lowered or holstered. Several chatted on cell phones as they presumably called loved ones to tell them the hunt was over and they were safe.
'Thank you. Thank you. It was our pleasure,' members of the Boston SWAT team said over a loudspeaker to the relieved crowds who gathered to thank them.
An estimated 1,000 law enforcement officers had been involved in the massive police manhunt.
Just prior to this, police fueled the paranoid atmosphere when they said three other people were taken into custody for questioning at an off-campus housing complex at the University of the Massachusetts at Dartmouth where the younger man may have lived
Up until the younger man's capture, it was looking like a grim day for police. As night fell, they announced that they were scaling back the hunt because they had come up empty-handed.
But then a break came in a Watertown neighborhood when a homeowner saw blood on his boat, pulled back the tarp and saw the bloody suspect inside, police said.

'We Got Him!': Twenty four hours of chaos comes to an end: How Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was apprehended by police after day-long search

April 18 5.30pm - The FBI releases CCTV footage and stills of two suspects from surveillance cameras near the explosion sites filmed shortly before the blasts. FBI agent Richard DesLauriers asks for the public's help in identifying the men who are both wearing baseball caps and carrying backpacks. 'We consider them to be armed and extremely dangerous,' Mr DesLauriers said, warning that they should not be approached.
10.30pm - A campus police officer is shot and killed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, near Boston, after responding to a report of a disturbance.
Shortly afterwards, police get a report of a carjacking nearby. The two men are suspected of killing the MIT police officer, then stealing the car at gunpoint and later releasing its driver unharmed. The suspects threw explosives from the car as police followed it to the Boston suburb of Watertown.
April 19 1am - Witnesses report hearing multiple gunshots and explosions in Watertown. Residents are advised to keep their doors locked and not let anyone in. TV footage shows armed officers surrounding a suspect lying on the ground.
Police later say one of the two suspects in the MIT officer shooting is dead but the other, who is tied to the Boston marathon bombing, remains at large.
Public transport is suspended in the Boston area as the hunt for the remaining suspect continues.
A new photo of him on the loose is released showing him in a grey hoodie sweatshirt at a 7-Eleven store in Cambridge.
5pm - Police admit at a press conference they don't know where 19-year-old Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev is. Authorities lift 'shelter in place' orders and allow residents to venture outside.
5.45pm - David Henneberry finds a body in his boat on Franklin Street in Watertown, less than three quarters of a mile from where Tsarnaev ditched his stolen Mercedes SUV.
6pm - Officers surround Mr Hennerberry's boat and exchange fire with him. 
7.05pm - Flash grenades are reportedly tossed into the boat to stun Tsarnaev. 
8.43pm - Tsarnaev surrenders and it taken into custody. He is rushed to the hospital by ambulance
Chechnya has been the scene of two wars between Russian forces and separatists since 1994, in which tens of thousands were killed in heavy Russian bombing. That spawned an Islamic insurgency that has carried out deadly bombings in Russia and the region, although not in the West.
The older brother had strong political views about the United States, said Albrecht Ammon, 18, a downstairs-apartment neighbor in Cambridge. Ammon quoted Tsarnaev as saying that the U.S. uses the Bible as 'an excuse for invading other countries.'
Also, the FBI interviewed the older brother at the request of a foreign government in 2011, and nothing derogatory was found, according to a federal law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the case publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The official did not identify the foreign country or say why it made the request.

The dramatic culmination of an almost 24-hour man hunt began this evening when gunshots were heard in Watertown, Massachussetts as police vehicles with flashing lights roared towards a house on a quiet street and bomb squad arrived on the scene.
A Bearcat, a robotic device, was being sent in to check for explosives and tear gas being used.
The owner of the boat David Henneberry reportedly emerged from his house after the curfew in Boston was lifted, saw blood on the vessel, lifted the cover and discovered a person inside. He then fled back to his house and called police, according to CNN.
Flash-bangs were being thrown in by police who had surrounded the area to try to flush out the suspect who appeared to have been at the location for most of the day.
Police told neighbors that the suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, is covered in blood and may have been shot in exchange of gun fire last night where his accomplice elder brother was killed. 
Police immediately reissued an alert to stay inside after earlier announcing that people could move about with caution. An ambulance also arrived at the scene as a helicopter flew overhead. 
The joint task force of FBI and police officers appeared to be moving more carefully after making visual contact with the suspect inside the perimeter they had searched for the past day.
CNN reported that a family of ten were removed from the scene and officers were seen carrying children. The home reportedly belongs to Mr Henneberry and Elizabeth Henneberry, a couple in their mid-sixties.

FBI agents interviewed one of the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings two years ago, but found no connection with terror groups.
Agents interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2011 at the request of a foreign government that suspected he might have ties to extremist groups, the FBI said Friday.
The search for the younger brother all but paralyzed the Boston area for much of the day. Officials shut down all mass transit, including Amtrak trains to New York, advised businesses not to open, and warned close to 1 million people in the entire city and some of its suburbs to stay inside and unlock their doors only for uniformed police.
'We believe this man to be a terrorist,' Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said. 'We believe this to be a man who's come here to kill people.'
Around midday, the suspects' uncle Ruslan Tsarni of Montgomery Village, Md., pleaded on television: 'Dzhokhar, if you are alive, turn yourself in and ask for forgiveness.'
Authorities said the man dubbed Suspect No. 1 — the one in sunglasses and a dark baseball cap in the surveillance-camera pictures — was Tamerlan Tsarnaev, while Suspect No. 2, the one in a white baseball cap worn backward, was his younger brother.
