Police capture Boston bomber suspect in manhunt: media

POLICE captured one of the Boston marathon bombing suspects early Friday but were still chasing a second suspect in a manhunt in which gunfire and explosions were heard, the Boston Globe reported.
The suspect was caught in Watertown near the US city of Boston after a chase which started with the killing of a police officer at the elite Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the newspaper reported.
A scene of chaos descended on Cambridge and Watertown late Thursday night and early Friday morning, as police confirmed an MIT police officer was shot and killed, and an apparent carjacking led police on a wild chase into Watertown, it's reported.
Witnesses in Watertown said they heard explosions. Police officers were screaming about improvised explosive devices.
Authorities would not comment on whether the events were connected to Monday's Boston Marathon bombings. At least one of the suspects in Watertown appeared to be a man in his 20s.
