So this week has been crazy, right?
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was finally caught, but not without a fight. MSNBC gives a great recount of the incident:
A resident had gone outside to smoke and noticed a tarp on the boat was flapping, a relative told NBC News. When he went to investigate, he saw what looked like a curled-up person and bloody clothes.President Obama addressed the nation about the capture
The man "freaked out," ran into the house and called police, the relative said.
Thermal imaging from helicopters confirmed there was a person in the boat, officials said.
Over the course of two hours, several bursts of gunfire could be heard. The police exchanged fire with Tsarnaev, threw flash-bang grenades designed to disorient him and brought a negotiator to the scene as night fell, officials said.
Just before 9 p.m., the wounded Tsarnaev was taken into custody. "He sustained significant blood loss," a law enforcement official at the scene said.
There are a lot of questions about Dzhokhar and the reasons why he did this. I'm sure by this weekend, we will have an idea.
Watch the Boston Police Press Conference after the jump. Glad this is over... I hope
