Watch: Gun Battle Leaves Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect Dead
Watch Live: SPECIAL REPORT: Manhunt for Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect 1 Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect Dead, 'Massive Manhunt' for Second
One suspect in this week's deadly Boston Marathon bombing died today after a police shootout, and a second suspect, identified by officials as Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, remains at large and the subject of a manhunt, police said early this morning.
Law enforcement sources said the two suspects, deemed Suspect 1 and 2 Thursday in the marathon bomb investigation, are brothers of Chechen ethnicity from Russia. Tsarnaev, 19, who has now been on the run from authorities for more than 10 hours, is believed to be armed with an assault-style rifle and an assortment of other weapons, including bombs, a senior federal law enforcement official said.
Boston is on lockdown and a "massive manhunt" is underway, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said.
Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said early this morning, "We believe this is a terrorist, we believe this is a man that's come here to kill people."

Tsarnaev's brother, whose name has not been released, was killed after exchanging gunfire with police officers early today. Multiple explosive devices were detonated during the firefight, police said.
Officials at Beth Israel Hospital reported they received one patient who later died, but would not confirm it was the first suspect. That patient came in under guard and had suffered blast, shrapnel and so many gunshot wounds that caregivers were "unable to count" them.

A neighbor of Tsarnaev's said he has been in the country at least since he was 7. A school friend of Tsarnaev's, Sierra Schwartz, told "Good Morning America" the young man "never seemed suspicious or weird or anything."

Boston officials said that all public transportation and taxi service has been suspended amid the manhunt, and Mayor Patrick issued a city-wide "shelter in place" order as the investigation unfolds.
"Please understand we have an armed and dangerous person(s) still at large and police actively pursuing every lead in this active emergency event," the order said.
Police said the violent ordeal began around 10:30 p.m. Thursday evening when a 7-Eleven convenience store was robbed in Cambridge, Mass., shortly before the MIT officer was shot. The brothers then hijacked a Mercedes and drove to Watertown, Mass. Police pursued the duo into a residential area of Watertown, a suburb of Boston. The chase ended in a firefight that left Tsarnaev's brother dead, while he managed to slip away as police surround the area with multiple police cars, ambulances and fire trucks. Federal law enforcement sources told ABC News the suspects admitted their role in the Boston Marathon bombing to the carjacking victim.
Earlier in the day Massachusetts state police have tweeted guidance for Watertown residents to stay in their residences and not answer their doors unless it is for an identified police officer. Police were "going door by door, street by street, in and around Watertown. Police will be clearly identified. It is a fluid situation," according to the state police tweet.
The Monday bombing near the finish line of the Boston Marathon killed three people and injured more than 170 more. The FBI released images Thursday evening of the two suspects in the case.
