One of the people suspected by the FBI of being behind the Boston Marathon bombings is reportedly in custody. Meanwhile, a victim of the bombings who had his legs mangled by the explosion has identified a suspected bomber to the FBI.

The arrest of the suspect in the Monday attack was revealed by an official cited by The Boston Globe.

The other chief suspect remains on the loose in Watertown after a firefight with police, the newspaper reports.

The firefight ensued after an MIT police officer was shot and killed on Friday morning, and fellow officers followed the lead of an apparent carjacking.

Boston's WHDH TV news says one of the men who were chased by the police has been shot dead.

A 20-block perimeter was established as the manhunt for the second suspect continues.
