Politi reports: "Watertown Police Chief Edward Deveau spoke to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Saturday and offered up the most detailed account yet of the manhunt of the two Boston Marathon bombing suspects."

Eyewitness Contradicts Police Account of Tsarnaev Killing
28 April 13
According to this eyewitness account broadcast on Boston radio station WEEI 93.7 FM, a caller named Linda, who said she was from Dexter Street in Waterville, reported that she saw "the first suspect [Tamerlan Tsarnaev] hit by a police SUV, and then after he was hit, shot multiple times."
This differs markedly from accounts by Watertown police chief Edward Deveau, who describes, to CNN's very enthusiastic Wolf Blitzer, two suspects firing on police officers with a lot of weapons, Tamerlan Tsarnaev firing on police at close range, Tamerlan then being tackled by police, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev then speeding toward them in a black SUV, ultimately running over his brother Tamerlan as he fled the scene.
The eyewitness account casts doubt on Boston PD's entire account of the incident. - MA/RSN
