The entire city has been on lockdown for almost 24 hours while Boston Police and FBI hunt for the remaining suspect in the terrorist attack on the Boston Marathon that left three dead and over 160 injured. Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Chechen immigrants and radical Muslims, were at large after photos of them were distributed Thursday afternoon. The brothers went on to kill Sean Collier, a 26-year old MIT police officer, then got into a firefight with law enforcement in the wee hours this morning. Tamerlan was severely wounded, and died in the hospital; he is meeting his 72 virgins as we speak. The search for Dzhokhar continues. The closest I have come to being locked into one space for a period of time was after the 1994 Northridge earthquake, when everything in my part of Los Angeles came to a standstill. In the surrounding communities that make up Boston, the police insisted people stay in their homes and not answer the door unless it is law enforcement. I heard reports that during the firefight, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev ran over his own brother's body to get away. That is not surprising for this 19-year-old who'd set a bomb near to 8-year-old Martin Richard and his family, knowing the consequences. It sends chills up my spine.
