    Going to be a lot of first wave excitement over this one.

    Appreciate the ground floor reports.

    Curious to see what comes next . . .

    A device exploded @ JFK Memorial Library, confirmed by Boston PD.

    One academic points out that:
    The Waco siege ended 20 years ago this week. Oklahoma City occurred two years later.
    Several tweets that a suspect is in custody; alongside higher casualty figures and the inevitable array of video footage and stills.

    Listening to some really interesting radio feeds out of Boston:

    Hard to follow everything sometimes.

    Possibly a product of hasty/sensationalist journalism, the NY Post is reporting a Saudi national as a suspect, in custody.

    I saw that they're also reporting 12 dead and 50 injured.

    Sensationalist is exactly what comes to mind.
