UPDATE: Boston, Massachusetts - Boston marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, today is clinging to life after an all day manhunt for him on Friday that resulted in a lock down in the Watertown area including Boston where people were asked to stay indoors. The young man was at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center today. It is the same hospital where Tsarnaev's older brother Tamerlan, 26, was brought early Friday after a shootout with police. Tamerlan died of his wounds.
A hospital spokesperson said early this morning that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was still alive, however the FBI asked they give no updates on his condition.
When he was taken into custody from the bottom of a boat in the backyard of a Watertown home Friday night, the suspect was bleeding badly and too weak to resist any longer, officials said.
Police believe Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was initially wounded Thursday night in the gun battle that killed his brother. Police said they found blood in a car he abandoned and blood at a house. Police said he went undetected by the massive manhunt because he had managed to get just one block outside the search perimeter.
