Police caught the second Boston Marathon bomber alive early this morning after shooting dead his brother.
Dzhokar Tsarnaev was arrested around 2am UK time after he was cornered by heavily armed police and Swat teams in an outlying suburb.
His brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, had been gunned down yesterday
in a firefight in the middle of the street in broad daylight.
At least 20 shots were fired in a gun battle between police and 19-year-old Dzhokar as he hid in a boat in the backyard at a house in Watertown.
The area had been under “police lockdown” for 24 hours but, within minutes of that being lifted, Swat teams and armoured vehicles raced to 67 Franklin Street
The alarm was raised after blood was spotted from the boat, suggesting Dzhokar had been wounded in the earlier gunfight in which his brother died.
Nearly an hour later the sounds of “pops and bangs” rang out as police fired flash-bang stun grenades towards the college student.

Helicopter infra-red scanners spotted a body hiding under the tarpaulin of a boat in the backyard of the house.
Neighbour Barbara Young said: “Everything was blocked off. An FBI agent told me he was hiding in a boat.
"The gunman was shooting at the cops. That’s where the shots were coming from.”
A convoy of more than 50 police vehicles, containing hundreds of officers converged on the suburb.
A firefight between Dzhokar and police teams broke out with one woman reporting hearing up to 25 gunshots.
Police told people nearby to stay on the ground while bullets were flying. Snipers were placed on a rooftop as the net closed around the suspect.
At 2am UK time police officers clapped and crowds cheered as an alive and conscious Dzhokar was taken in to custody and rushed to hospital.

The Boston Police Twitter account summed up the relief with the message: "CAPTURED!!! The hunt is over. The search is done. The terror is over. And justice has won. Suspect in custody."
The breakthrough, at 7pm local time, came nearly 24 hours after Tamerlan was killed following an intense firefight.
Millions of petrified residents locked themselves inside homes and businesses while schools and shops were closed.
Meanwhile 9,000 heavily armed personnel hunted down the Chechen brothers whose rucksack bombs killed three people, through eerily quiet districts.
Tamerlan was killed in a gunfight after he tried to blow up officers who had tracked down an SUV the pair had carjacked.
200 rounds and explosives were used in the firefight with police.
But Dzhokar managed to flee, leaving behind him a trail of destruction that included one dead policeman and another seriously hurt.
