Matt Pearce writes about the Boston Marathon bombers in an article titled, "Police: Bombing Suspects Lost Hostage While Buying Snacks" published in the Los Angeles Times April 21, 2013. Pearce writes about the hectic gun battle that took place just before Boston police killed Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the older of the two marathon bombing brothers. Close to two-hundred rounds of were exchanged before Tamerlan was taken down, however his younger brother Dzokhar lived to fight another day that night. Although, soon enough he would face his fate. Dzokhar was found in a Boston resident's boat late Friday evening, wounded in the neck, and is currently being hospitalized. Boston Police confirmed today that neither of the two brothers were licensed to have guns. Dzokhar was not even old enough to apply for a license, since he is only nineteen and the legal age in Massachusetts is twenty-one. Yet, they were able to get their hands on them. It is great to see that these terrorists have been neutralized and can not cause anymore harm to any one. The events that took place on Monday in Boston were a true tragedy, and it is unfortunate that these types calamities occur. However, residents of Boston have shown the entire world what it means to be strong and come together as a community.
