[Kreuger]

They've got someone at gunpoint with a "device" under his jacket. Described as white, 60-70yrs old (maybe it was 16-17)

Edit: He's in cuffs.

Stream just died, they mentioned sighting someone, then it died

[Kreuger]

The one I posted is still up. They said it's not the suspect they're looking for. He has something in hand though so waiting EOD.

There's still a lot going with the detained car in Niagara Falls, NY. Police moving everyone away and blocking the scene.

Watertown: Not the suspect they are looking for. Wearing a vest and holding a device in his hand. Appears to be a older male, they have him on the ground and they are moving EOD team in.

pretty sure i just heard a copy say "unless he's iron man"

It baffles me that there are people in the watertown area stupid enough to leave their homes at a time like this.

[Kreuger]

They keep mentioning a "bear". I assume it's an acronym?

The scanner site doesn't work for me. Lame. I wish I could hear what's going on.

you realize, not everyone listens to the news, and checks the internet before they go out of their house

[presence06]

Bearcat... believe it's a armored SWAT vehicle.

[vcfan]

from abcnews feed, suspect #1 threw a smoke bomb at police,was walking through the smoke a firing at police while suspect #2 ran away. looks like they were pretty much caught and the older brother sacrificed his life so his brother can get away.

The BEAR is what they are calling their APC or EOD vehicle

[Kreuger]

They're referring to it as an object. Someone in the chat said it's an armored vehicle.

Edit: Confirmed above me now.

[xendrome]

They are moving up a bunch of SWAT units and armored vehicles at this time.

QFT. I moved out of waltham last year but still got alert from the City in the morning - when I called a friend who lives there, he had no idea about this.
