With the suspects in the deadly bombings still at large early Friday morning, Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis used his Twitter account to report on a shootout with police: “One suspect dead. One at large. Armed and dangerous. White hat suspect at large.”
The “white hat suspect” was photographed in a convenience store, and Commissioner Davis then Tweeted out that photo:
