The Massachusetts college student wanted in the Boston
Marathon bombing was captured wounded, but alive after hiding out in a boat
parked in a backyard on Friday evening.
The arrest of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev signaled the end of five
days of terror set-off by the double bombing at the marathon finish line
The bloody endgame came four days after the bombing and
just a day after the FBI released surveillance-camera images of two young men
suspected of planting the pressure-cooker explosives that ripped through the
crowd at the marathon finish line, killing three people and wounding more than
180. His older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, lay dead in a furious 24-hour drama
that transfixed the nation and paralyzed the Boston area with fear.
Relieved law enforcement officers began cheering and
clapping after Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was arrested and is now in a serious
condition at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and is reported to have lost
a great deal of blood. Boston police commissioner Ed Davis was celebratory in
his tone as he took to Twitter to say, 'It’s a proud day to be a Boston police
officer. Thank you all.
