Late Thursday night, officers reported that two suspects were exchanging gunfire with law enforcement on the campus of MIT in Boston.

The shooting happened around 10:45 pm near Building 32 (Stata), which is currently surrounded by responding agencies. The area is cordoned off.

One MIT police officer was shot multiple times and died from his injuries, the Middlesex County District Attorney’s office confirmed. He has yet to be identified.

According to the District Attorney’s office, the MIT campus police officer was responding to a report of a disturbance in the area of Vassar and Main streets when he was shot. 

There were also reports of a large explosion, apparently caused by hand grenades being thrown at police. One witness says he heard one loud explosion and about 30 gunshots.

A local resident says that two men threw what appeared to be “pressure cooker bomb” at police. 

The suspects reportedly stole a black Mercedes from Cambridge, but ended up being caught in Watertown, right outside of Boston.

The stolen Mercedes.

The first suspect has been taken into custody. The suspect was shot by police and taken to Beth Israel hospital. There is no update on his condition.

Cops have confirmed that the second suspect is in a vehicle with long gun. Cops have it surrounded with guns.

It is unclear if the two suspects are connected with the Boston Marathon bombings.
