Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, was captured shortly before 8:45 this evening, bringing a massive manhunt to an end, according to The Boston Globe. The other suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, Dzhokhar's older brother, died during an overnight shootout with police.
The younger Tsarnaev was found in a boat behind a house in Waterford, Mass., a Boston suburb, after being warned that he might be there.
As police and fire vehicles filed out, lights flashing, bull horns blaring, with the suspect in custody, they were cheered by throngs of citizens lining the sides of the street.
CNN reports that immediately after the arrest, Boston police tweeted, "CAPTURED!"
As President Barack Obama addressed the nation this evening, he stated, "They failed, because as Americans, we refused to be terrorized."
