Did the cops call the press conference to get the suspect to let his guard down, and then pounce on him when he came out?
We'll know soon enough [update, 9:03 p.m.: WBZ Boston just reported that the homeowner left his home after the lockdown was lifted and saw blood on the boat in his backyard; he called police, and that is why they closed in on the suspect so soon]. But in the space of time when the lockdown was lifted and I went out and stretched my legs, this is what happened. Yes, they got him:
What activity can I do that I can go and do it and come back to see they've caught the guy?

I'm gonna take a walk.

If you expect #Boston ease up, you are not aware of how we treated Bill Buckner for 18 years after a baseball rolled between his legs.

Result of my walk: Tons of cops and ambulances. Teenagers talking about Cambridge Rindge & Latin. One awesome house blasting Neil Diamond.

I saw a whole bunch of cops and ambulances going toward Watertown, but I just figured it had been like that all day. First time outside.

Come on, guys. We've been behind you all day. Finish the job. Get him.

If this works out, we're having Patriots Day again tomorrow, right?

Proud of our cops, proud of our local coverage. Local TV has redeemed itself today, and I'm going to be thanking officers for some time.

@mikecolenesn Never doubted they would rise again. They've never failed on local in these past few years.

Anyone else just realize what time it is? Glued.

Suspect in custody #watertown

TV slow to confirm. I'm ready to jump.
— Jen Slothower (@JSlotNESN) April 20, 2013
Congrats to the FBI, Boston police, Watertown police, state police. You killed it. By not killing the suspect.

Sounds like this is it. We won't see it, but we can believe it. Well done.

In my head all week. Boston!youtube.com/watch?v=4ASJBX…I wrote earlier this week about what happened Marathon Monday, why Boston can still be a city on a hill, and why Friday was far more scary than anything else this week.

Here's some good links I've found today (no rhyme or reason for why I included them, other than they were helpful at the time).
- Anything by The Boston Globe. I've never been more proud of the paper I've stuck with since I moved here. [Live blog] [An intern who knew the suspect]
- The New York Times. We're not paralyzed, but "dragnet" is a good description. [Main Story] [a solid map]
- Deadspin. Say what you will about this site, but they were great at aggregating the details and calling out the morons today. It's not the first time they've done a great job at some form of journalism. [Posts Tagged "Boston Bombings"]
- NBC News: One of the best stories from the early morning.
- One of the saddest parts for me has been the conflicting reports between the evidence and recollections from people who knew the suspects. It's hard to reconcile the accounts and know what to think. [AP: Father's View; Boston Herald: Uncle's View; L.A. Times: Conspiracy Theory]
- The suspect's social media accounts. [Twitter account]
- Details on the two brothers.
- Instagram chronicles it all.
