News tonight reported the explosives were bought from a fireworks store (inside fireworks of course) and that the bombers had only the one gun.

This was reported on the Boston Herald, Huffington Post and several other web sites.

Not sure we will ever know the truth. There was a report last Friday that they had executed the one policeman with his own gun. However today, they are saying the one handgun had the serial number scratched off.

CBS News is now reporting that the MIT officer's (Shawn Collier) holster had a locking system on it and that prevented it from being taken. They are also reporting that the 2nd suspect did not have a gun in the boat and that one of the officers started shooting at him when he said he saw something in his hand that he thought might be a bomb. When the other police arrived and heard the shooting they thought it was the suspect that was shooting at them so they returned fire.
