14 DAY TRIAL // The campus officer killed on the MIT campus yesterday, as police searched for the Boston bombing suspects, has been identified.
26-year-old Sean Collier, a resident of Somerville, lost his life, allegedly in the midst of a shootout that involved 19-year-old fugitive Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev and his brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tzarnaev.
While the latter has been killed in an exchange of fire with the FBI, police are still searching for Tsarnaev, having imposed lockdowns in Boston, as well as Watertown and the towns surrounding it.
According to the Boston Globe, 33-year-old MBTA Transit Police Officer Richard H. Donahue Jr. has suffered non-life-threatening wounds during the campus shooting.
Some 20 other police officers have been transported to St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center in Brighton and treated for minor wounds.
