Hand grenades and automatic gunfire being reported. "A second officer is down." Not sure if MIT officer is considered first.

One officer just asked if officers should shut off their cell phones to avoid setting off an explosive device.

The FBI is now on scene. One suspect in custody, the other being held at gunpoint not yet in custody.

There seems to be some confusion as to how many suspects are in custody.

Any mention of whether or not the suspects are related to the Boston Marathon bomber suspects?

I'm tuned into Fox now we will see what is said.

WATERTOWN — One suspect in Monday’s Boston Marathon bombings has been captured, according to an official with knowledge of the investigation. Another remains on the loose in Watertown after a firefight with police. Authorities have established a 20-block perimeter as they search for him.

A scene of chaos descended on Cambridge and Watertown late Thursday night and early Friday morning, as police confirmed an MIT police officer was shot and killed, and an apparent carjacking led police on a wild chase into Watertown.

Witnesses in Watertown said they heard explosions. Police officers were screaming about improvised explosive devices.

Authorities would not comment on whether the events were connected to Monday’s Boston Marathon bombings. At least one of the suspects in Watertown appeared to be a man in his 20s.
