Transportation to and from the Boston area is virtually shut down Friday morning, with the exception of airplanes, which continue to take off and land at Logan International Airport.
Amtrak has stopped trains about an hour south of the city in Providence, R.I. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, which operates commuter trains into Boston as well as the city's subway - called the T - and the city's buses suspended all operations.
JetBlue, the largest airline in Boston, is allowing anybody scheduled to fly to or from Boston to change their ticket for free.
Megabus has canceled at least 18 buses between Boston and New York, New Haven, Conn., Hartford, Conn., Burlington, Vt. and Philadelphia.

MBTA Transit Police Chief Paul MacMillan released the following statement about officer Richard Donohue, Jr.:
Facing extraordinary danger, Officer Donohue never hesitated in fully engaging the terrorists in order to protect the citizens of the Commonwealth. I am extremely proud of him, and cannot say enough about his heroic actions. There has been a tremendous outpouring of support, and the Donohue family wants to thank all of those who have offered their prayers and support.
The family also wishes to extend its sincerest condolences to the family of Officer Sean Collier, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Officer Donohue represents the best that the law enforcement profession has to offer, and he exemplifies the dedication and commitment of the MBTA Transit Police Department.
(Richard H. Donohue Jr., 33, a three-year veteran of the transit system police force, was shot and wounded in the incident and taken to a hospital, a transit police spokesman said Friday)

The search for two brothers accused of carrying out the Boston Marathon bombings evolved rapidly between Thursday night and Friday evening throughout the locked-down city of Boston and its surrounding suburbs. A firefight between police and the suspects early Friday morning left one of the brothers, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, dead. Younger brother Dzhokhar, 19, was captured in Watertown, Mass., on Friday night after an intense manhunt and has been hospitalized.
Below is a timeline of how the events transpired:
Thursday, April 18, 5 p.m. (all times ET and approximate) – The FBI releases photos and a surveillance video that show two men, one wearing a white baseball cap and the second wearing a black cap. Each man was carrying a backpack in the footage. The FBI said they should be considered “armed and extremely dangerous.”
7 p.m. – Names start pouring into the FBI in response to their release of photos.
10:20 p.m. – Gunshots are heard on the MIT campus.
Around 10:30 p.m. – MIT police officer Sean Collier, 26, is found shot in his vehicle. He is taken to Massachusetts General Hospital and ****ounced dead. Shortly after the shooting, the suspects allegedly carjack a Mercedes SUV in a separate section of Cambridge. The suspects held the carjacking victim at gunpoint for a half hour before releasing him unharmed at a gas station, according to the Middlesex District Attorney.
11:20 p.m. – Authorities tell the public to stay indoors. Around this time, the suspects try to use a debit card stolen from the man whose car they jacked to withdraw money from three ATMs. The first attempt was unsuccessful, but they allegedly withdrew $800 on the second attempt. At the third ATM, the withdrawal attempt was denied for exceeding the man’s daily limit.
Shortly after, police pursue the suspects into Watertown, west of Cambridge, in the carjacked vehicle. The suspects toss explosive devices from the SUV, according to the district attorney, seriously injuring a public transit police officer, Richard Donohue. One of the suspects, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, is critically injured, and later ****ounced dead in the early hours of Friday morning.
Friday, April 19, about 1:15 a.m. – A massive police presence, including state troopers and police cruisers with lights and sirens blaring, fill the Boston suburb of Watertown. Several ambulances were also on the scene.

2 a.m. – The FBI releases four new photos of the two men, one in a white hat and one in a black hat, at the Boston Marathon.
2:20 a.m. – The suspects, hiding behind the black Mercedes SUV in Watertown, engage in a shootout with a large number of police officers. The men, about 200 feet apart, exchanged constant gunfire, and the two shooters lit an explosive that lands in the space between themselves and the police, then exploded. One of the two men then ran toward police and was tackled, an eyewitness says.
While it is known that one suspect is down in Watertown, it is still not clear at this point whether the shooting at MIT and the firefight in Watertown are related to the Boston Marathon bombings.
4:16 a.m. – Law enforcement sources confirm that the suspect pictured in the black hat is dead, and the suspect in the white hat is at-large and considered armed and dangerous. The officials say the shootings at MIT and in Watertown are directly related to the marathon bombings.

6:30 a.m. – Amtrak service into and out of Boston South Station is delayed by police activity. Amtrak officials temporarily suspend train service between Boston and Providence, R.I.
7 a.m. – More than 400,000 people shelter in place in the neighborhoods of Cambridge, Newton, Waltham, Brighton, Watertown, and Allston-Brighton. Authorities say the two suspects are brothers.
About 7:30 a.m. – The two suspects are identified for the first time publicly. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was identified as the suspect in the white hat who was still at large. He was born in Kyrgyzstan. His brother, Tamerlan Tzarnaev, 26, was born in Russia, authorities said. He was the deceased suspect.
8 a.m. – Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick urges all residents in Boston and the surrounding area to remain indoors as authorities engage in a “massive manhunt.” Officials extend the shelter-in-place order across the city.
About 10 a.m. – Officials identify the deceased MIT police officer publicly for the first time as Sean Collier, 26, of Somerville. A former civilian IT employee of the Somerville Police Department, he had served at MIT since January 2012.
12:30 p.m. – Authorities request that residents remain in their homes, saying that about 60 percent of the area they want to search in Watertown had been covered without an apprehension.
6 p.m. - Authorities lift the order for people stay in their homes and reopen Boston transit. Gov. Deval Patrick says people must remain vigilant because “there is still a very, very dangerous individual at large.” Col. Timothy Alben of Massachusetts State Police says the suspect has not been apprehended but vows that he will be.
7 p.m. - A barrage of gunfire is fired in a Watertown neighborhood.

8:45 p.m. - Suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, is captured alive, police say.
Upon hearing that the second suspect has been caught, residents in the neighborhood break out in spontaneous applause as a week of terror concludes.
Tsarnaev, bleeding and in serious condition, is taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, according to a Massachusetts State Police spokesman.
He will be questioned by a federal team once he is well enough to be interrogated, but under a special legal exception designed to protect public safety, he will not get a Miranda warning or be offered a lawyer for up to 48 hours.
