This is a Breaking news story
Police, federal agents and even National Guardsmen descended on a Boston suburb where there were reports of violence, gunshots and two loud booms Thursday night into early Friday morning — all following the fatal shooting of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer.
The large law-enforcement presence gathered in Watertown, Mass., just a few miles from the shooting on MIT's Cambridge campus, where two men had reportedly shot at police officers.
The Watertown scene was marked by reports of rapid gunfire and explosions.
WNBC’s Jonathan Dienst said FBI and local police were looking for a connection between the Boston Marathon bombs and the incidents in Watertown and at MIT. “Dozens and dozens” of federal agents had been dispatched to the crime scenes.
A law enforcement source said one of the suspects had been shot.
Local resident Andrew Kitzenberg described a police standoff outside his house, where two shooters and police engaged in gunfire for several minutes.
The gunmen used "bombs that looked like grenades," Kitzenberg told NBC News
