Tonight on AC360: Boston manhunt
The manhunt for the 19-year-old suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings is not over. But we now know more about the saga that's unfolded in the past 24 hours, including the tragic death of MIT police officer Sean Collier.
Dzhokar Tsarnaev and his brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev were identified by police as the suspects in the photos released by the FBI on Thursday at an evening press conference. Hours later the men engaged in a gun battle with law enforcement and threw explosives. Dzhokar got away, driving over his brother who was shot by police. Tamerlan later died at a Boston hospital.
A source tells CNN that he was wearing explosives and a triggering device. Anderson will interview the doctor who treated the suspect and also cared for the victims of the attack this week.
Honoring the Boston bombing victims
Today President Obama spoke at a memorial service about the three people who lost their lives in the Boston Marathon attack. He offered prayers and shared memories from those closest to the victims.
Lingzi Lu was a 23-year-old graduate student studying mathematics and statistics at Boston University. A Chinese national, she had moved to the city in the fall. Lu and two friends were spectators at the marathon; one of her friends is recovering from injuries and the other was unharmed.
A close-knit family of five was torn apart by the violence. 8-year-old Martin Richard was killed in the bombings. His mother, Denise, and sister, Jane, were both severely wounded. A friend of the family told Anderson Cooper that Martin will be remembered as bright, energetic, friendly and faithful, and a leader among his peers.In a statement, his father, William, wrote in part. "We thank our family and friends, those we know and those we have never met, for their thoughts and prayers. I ask that you continue to pray for my family as we remember Martin."
