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.

Tsarnaev's brother, whose name has not
been released, was killed after he and his
brother exchanged gunfire with police
officers early today, police said. Multiple
explosive devices were detonated during
the firefight.

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.

One police officer was also injured in the firefight and is in critical condition at a hospital.

Authorities said the suspects were also responsible for the death of an MIT police officer Thursday night.

Citing to the skill with which the suspects engaged police, federal law enforcement sources said they believe the men likely had paramilitary training.
