Monday April 15th at 2:50 pm on Boylston Street in Boston Tamerlan Tsarnaev who is 26 years old and his younger brother Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev 18 years old set off 2 bombs at the finish line at the Boston marathon. Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev was a student at Umass Dartmouth and was known as a good student. People who knew him said they would never suspect him to do something like that. After the bombing Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev went back to his school campus until Tuesday. Dzhokhar and Tamerlan went into hiding after Tuesday because they found out they were suspects.
So many people were focused on Boston and they towns next to it, they didn’t pay attention to any other towns. April 18 there was a gun fight in Watertown between the two brothers and the Watertown police. A policeman was killed and another seriously hurt. Thankfully no other policemen were hurt. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed during that gun fight but Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev got away. After the whole town went into a lock down and was searched. Hundreds of policemen from different towns came to help. Helicopters hovered above the town in search for Dzhokhar.
They eventually had an idea that he was hiding in someone’s boat that was in their backyard. The police in the helicopters had a device that could show that he was in the boat due to the heat his body was giving off. They knew he was alive because his body was still giving off heat which was good because they wanted to capture him alive to get information out of him. It took a while but they eventually got him out of the boat alive and took him to the hospital because he had many gun wounds. It didn’t take long for Boston to figure out who the suspects were and capture Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev. Which shows how strong Boston is and no one should ever mess with us.
