Reports of gunshots fired around 7:00 p.m., approximately one hour after authorities told the public that the lockdown had been lifted, sent law enforcement officials scrambling to a crime scene in Watertown, Mass.
The Boston Police Department told residents in the area to “remain inside.”
Watertown residents near where the police are converging tell HuffPost reporters Christina Wilkie and Michael McLaughlin that a living and injured body was found in a boat on pylons. It is unclear if the body is the suspect connected to the marathon bombing. They say 15 gunshots were heard near a 7-Eleven on Mount. Auburn in Watertown. The scene is very close to last night’s burst of violence.
A State police officer is warning members of the public that it is “extremely dangerous to be out here.” Unlike Thursday, when the sound of loud explosions attracted large crowds, the area near the crime scene on Mount Auburn Street is empty.
