A suspect in the Boston Marathon Bombing was killed early Friday morning after a series of events just hours before.

Authorities say Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his brother, Dzhokhar, robbed a 7-Eleven, allegedly killed an MIT officer, carjacked an SUV, and exchanged fire with police pursuing them.



Tamerlan was wounded, taken into custody, and later pronounced dead at a local hospital.



Police pursued the two brothers and were led from Cambridge, Massachusetts to Watertown after the MIT officer was killed.


NBC reports that Tsarnaev had a bomb strapped to his chest before dying.


The brother is still at large and police say that he is armed and is considered dangerous.
 
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority has been shut down until the remaining suspect is caught.
