UPDATE 4/21 1:30 PM EST
While we now know both suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing are brothers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, it appears a local Fox station got their wires crossed misidentifying Zooey Deschanel as one of the suspects, Friday.
According to Huffington Post, the New Girl star’s name was misidentified in the closed captioning as 19-year-old Dzhokhar in a line that read:
“Marathon bombing, he is 19-year-old Zooey Deschanel”
Way to bring humor to a serious situation. Tsarnaev was ultimately arrested Friday night after he was found hiding in a boat behind a home in Watertown, Mass.
Zooey responded to the station’s mistake, tweeting:

PHOTOS: ARRESTED?! Investigators Identify Boston Marathon Bombings Suspect
Authorities are saying that in the images above, you can clearly see the men who they believe are the two suspects at the explosion site.
The first picture also shows what appears to be a backpack on the ground matching the description of the bag used in the bombings.
This just released photo is a super hi-res photo of suspect #2. The police have confirmed that this is the suspect.
An official said that the two suspects were seen separately on videotape — one at each of the two bombing sites, which are located about a block apart.
The official, who spoke this morning on the condition of anonymity, said the best video has come from surveillance cameras on the same side of Boylston Street as the explosions.
According to the FBI:
“After a very detailed analysis of photo, video and other evidence, we are releasing photos of these two suspects. They are identified as suspect 1 and suspect 2. They appear to be associated. Suspect 1 is wearing a dark hat, suspect 2 is wearing a white hat. Suspect 2 set down a backpack at the site of the second explosion.
“As you can see from one of the images, suspects 1 and 2 appear to be walking together through the marathon crowd on Boylston Street in the direction of the finish line. That image was captured as they walked on Boylston in the vicinity of the intersection with Gloucester Street. As you can see the quality of the photos is quite good. We will continue to work on developing additional images to improve their identification value.”
Take a closer look at the two suspects.
This is suspect number one. He is wearing a distinctive Bridgestone Golf hat.
Notice the logo on his hat.
Suspect number two is wearing a white cap.
Here is a closer look at who authorities believe is suspect number two.
The FBI described the two men as armed and dangerous and urged the public not to approach them.
Here is a shot from reddit, where you can see suspect #2 (in white hat) turning the corner.
