Boston Marathon Bombing: Town In Lockdown

Residents of Watertown have been told to stay in their homes as one of the Boston marathon suspects remains on the loose.

The man - described as "armed and dangerous" - is on the run and being hunted by police.

All traffic in and out of the town, which is part of Greater Boston, has been halted.

Meanwhile, the public transport network across the entire city has been suspended, and those waiting at bus and train stations have been told to return home.

The shooting drew a massive police response

Businesses in many parts of Watertown are closed until further notice, and employees should stay at home, police say.

Massachusetts undersecretary Kurt Schwarz said those in Watertown and surrounding suburbs should stay in their homes until further notice.

"We are asking you to stay indoors, to stay in your homes, for the time being," he said.

Announcing the suspension of public transport, he added: "People who are at subway stations or bus stops, we are asking them to go home."

Sky's foreign editor Tim Marshall said that by keeping the streets relatively empty, it would be easier to spot the suspect if he fled.

He also said that police may fear that large crowds would be at risk of being attacked with an improvised explosive device (IED) by the suspect.

"On his way out, to escape or go out in a blaze of bloody glory, it's possible the police think their suspect would have tried to carry out another multiple-casualty attack."
