Boston Marathon Fugitive Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Caught After 22-Hour Chase

Four days after purportedly blowing up the Boston Marathon, the violent run of the brothers Tsarnaev reached its bloody finish line.

Fugitive Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, found wounded and cowering inside a drydocked boat, was arrested Friday night in the same suburban town where his big brother was killed hours earlier in a blazing gunfight with cops.

The 19-year-old suspect hid out inside the 22-foot pleasure boat after he was wounded in the firefight, where 200 bullets flew as homemade pipe bombs and grenades exploded in the darkness.

Henneberry was quietly smoking when he noticed the tarp that covered his 22-foot pleasure cruiser — a white Seahawk with blue trim and a fiberglass hull — was askew and walked over to investigate, said his stepson Robert Duffy.

“He went over and saw the tarp was dislodged and then he saw that one of the straps was hanging loose. He picked it up and saw it had been cut. He found it incredibly odd,” said Duffy.
Henneberry got a small ladder, climbed up to reach the boat deck and flipped back his tarp, said Duffy.

“He lifted it up and saw a pool of blood. And then he saw what he thought was a body,” said Duffy.

He jumped off the ladder and ran inside, dialing 911 as he went.

“The hunt is over. The search is done. The terror is over,” the Boston Police Department declared via Twitter. “And justice has won. Suspect in custody.”

A resident of the house went out for a cigarette after authorities ended their day-long hunt for Tsarnaev — and he spotted the terror suspect lying in a pool of blood in the bottom of his craft.

The immigrant college student swapped gunfire with the law enforcement horde that descended almost instantly on the home at 67 Franklin St. in Watertown, Mass., before finally surrendering.

Tsarnaev was listed in serious condition Friday night at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston.

President Obama, one day after addressing a Boston service for the three marathon victims, praised law enforcement for the arrest.

“As Americans, we refuse to be terrorized,” he said from the White House. “All in all, this has been a rough week, but we’ve seen the character of our country once more."
