An MIT police officer was killed. A university police officer has died after being shot on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus in Cambridge late Thursday, according to state police. http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/18/us/cambridge-gunshots/index.ht...
It may or may not be connected, but police in Boston have surrounded two men who are exchanging automatic gunfire them and have thrown grenades, another officer down. The grenades have been mentioned repeatedly, it's not 'I think I heard.' http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/6254/web via Reddit. :-/

Thanks for adding more details. It's hard to keep the updates going. Update (1:41am est): Does not seem like second suspect is currently in custody...
Sounds like most of the Watertown stuff moved to a different channel to free up regular traffic. Do you know how to stream that?
It's still working on the same link...

Some people are having trouble getting it to load. 50k listeners - that may be higher than when I was listening after the bombing - try a couple different windows and refreshing. Once connected it's very clear audio (I've been listening flawlessly for over 30 minutes).
Not sure about other mirrors but they must exist. Edit: Here's a mirror - http://tunein.com/radio/Boston-Police-Fire-and-EMS-Scanner-s...

#134Don't wish to make light of this at all, but I do wonder- how often does this happen? After all, "shots fired" is not an uncommon thing in many cities in the US. I just wonder whether we will look back in 12 months time at the "week of hell" and realise that it was actually just a week in which we found all the things that usually go on every week that we don't hear about.
Having never lived in the US, I find it astounding that you could make a comment like that and get so many nods. I've never even heard a gunshot, and I don't know anyone who ever has.
I once lived in a part of Los Angeles that at one point I heard at least two gun shootings per week for about a year. Fortunately every year since about 7 years ago shootings in that area gradually declined.

Isn't this insane?
I'm watching http://www1.whdh.com/video/7newslive muted along with the police scanner. I cannot believe these crazy TV news people...
I believe news 7 did a live report in front of the family's home of a person that died at the marathon...at 11pm. They really are heartless.

#136Sounds like things are still pretty sketchy up there. Lots of shouting about possibly another active shooter on the loose. Wow, just wow...

Thanks for this. Kinda feels weird sitting in Jamaica listening to the police scanner around MIT. Kinda awesome too - I know the tech is simple...but actually experiencing it, gives you this "world is small" feeling.
I would dearly love to be able to listen to the Jamaican police scanner!

That's in Watertown not Cambridge, so it sounds unrelated. All this stuff happening around Boston at the same time jeez

The stream is working for me, it's just that a lot of the radio traffic about Watertown has moved to "channel 1"
