The city of Boston has entered a lockdown as officials search for a man suspected of planting the Marathon bombs.

Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev is considered armed and dangerous, and could possibly carry explosives.

NBC News posts that the city's suburban regions and its public transportation system are off limits. As I mentioned, universities in the area have canceled their classes on Friday.

Michael Skolnik, live tweeting for Global Grind, details that police have stopped a train headed from Boston to NYC, so the suspect could be long gone by now. They have not found him on the train.

Tsarnaev, born in Kyrgyzstan and having lived in Russia, has ties in the country. The latest information on the 19-year-old man is that he has possibly been in the US for 10 years. He received a scholarship from a high-school in Cambridge in 2011.
