So does anyone know who our boy Mike Mulugeta even is, is he a real person or some fiction?

I want to know why both of their names were heard over the police scanners just prior to 1 AM Friday morning according to NewsBreakers?NewsBreaker ‏@NewsBreaker 1m

Seconded.

Linda explains how the shootout transpired in Watertown during the early morning hours. She saw the first suspect mortally wounded and police beginning the manhunt for the second suspect.

It's worth keeping in mind that the cop scanners aren't tuned to a single crime or investigation. There's lots of Mulugetas in Boston.

Ah, thanks. So, just the last name. Hmmm.
By the way, again, I am really getting fed up with all these condemnations of "wannabe detectives" on "witch hunts", as if having one's photo circled with MS Paint is comparable to being burned alive. Yeah, if some idiots went after the Moroccan kid, he might very well have been burned at the stake. But, that's what laws and police are for (I could've sworn they were good for something, sometimes) and, oh right, not a single person harmed the kid, even after the NY Post plastered his face across the entire country of non-Reddit readers and then the TV news outlets ran with that because, well, the NY Post is "real" media, right? The truly despicable parties are the newspapers and TV stations, not the folks on the internet who are doing a public service, one the other media are too compromised to attempt. So, a couple people get wrongly fingered. They weren't arrested. They weren't tried. They weren't convicted. They weren't executed. You know, like, some actual innocent people are? And people are sniping at Reddit furries for being "wannabe detectives"? I'd much rather have my face wrongly circled by a 4chan fiend than draw the attention of some real detectives, real prosecutors, real judges. People, liberals most hypocritically, are so willing to bash the upstart amateurs with good (mostly, one hopes) intentions all while groveling at the feet of undeserving authorities. Makes me sick. "But someone's reputation could be damaged!" And so then, it can be repaired, just as rapidly, as it was. Now the Moroccan kid has the bonus of a massive amount of attention and support. Should, he, uh, thank Reddit and 4chan? I would rather inconvenience 1000 innocent people than let a single mass-murdering ghoul escape our attention. Taking care is fine. But a little recklessness is not some grave sin, not in the pursuit of truth. Examined 200 photos and found nothing but false leads? Examine 200 more photos, then. The key to amateur internet sleuthing is to sleuth promiscuously, rummage through massive quantities of data, neither get stuck on one thing nor give short thrift to anything. The future of journalism is internet sleuthing. Maybe that's why the hypocritically-incompetent media hates it so much. They see their livelihoods ceasing on the horizon, as media is decentralized. Maybe that's why government agencies hates it so much, because they see a future where perceptions can't be controlled from a central network, because they can't see a way to plant an asset at every computer device in the world.

I'd be very interested in a link to any documentation of that (i.e, a LE confirmation of those names as suspects), as I have yet to locate any or a recording of the scanner in question.
