2nd Boston Suspect Captured

Police have announced the arrest of Dzhokar Tsarnaev, the second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings.

"CAPTURED!!! The hunt is over. The search is done. The terror is over. And justice has won. Suspect in custody,” Boston police have tweeted, according to CNN.

Authorities confirmed the man in custody is 19-year-old Dzhokar Tsarnaev, who escaped an overnight shootout with police that left his older brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev -- the other man wanted in the bombings -- dead.

The younger Tsarnaev was in serious condition, Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said at a news conference. He was being treated at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, hospital spokeswoman Kelly Lawman said.

The 19-year-old suspect was discovered hiding on a boat in a backyard of the Boston suburb of Watertown. Police were alerted to his whereabouts by a neighbor who saw blood on the boat.

Thousands of Swat team officers had earlier scoured the streets all day in a manhunt that virtually shut down the city.
