Captured!

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."

Boston Marathon Suspects - One Dead, Second Sought

One of the suspects in Monday's Boston Marathon bombings has been killed, and the second one is being sought in "an intense manhunt" this morning, according to The New York Times. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was killed after leading police on what the Times has described as a "wild chase...[following] the fatal shooting of a campus police officer."

A massive manhunt for the second suspect, Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, has "effectively shut down" the city of Watertown, Mass., as a door-to-door search for Tsarnaev is being conducted, according to ABC News.

According to WCVB, the killed police officer was an MIT Police officer. WCVB also reports that the suspect also attacked officers using "grenades, other explosives and gunfire."

At one point, ABC News producer Megan Chuchmach was reporting the news in Watertown. She was stopped by police and forced to the ground so that they could search her camera bag and equipment.
