CORRECTION: This story previously reported the chase began with a robbery of a 7-11 in Cambridge. Police sources have since clarified the brothers did not rob the convenience store.

Boston authorities have shut down public facilities, closed low-level airspace over the city, and urged residents to stay indoors as the search for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, continues

Another suspect, Tsarnaev's brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was killed last night in a shootout with police.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is a student at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, outside of Boston. That campus is closed, and classes at MIT, Harvard, Boston University and Boston College have been canceled.

The hunt for the Tsarnaev brothers included a series of violent incidents Thursday night, including the shooting of an MIT campus police officer and a carjacking at gunpoint. Police followed the brothers as they drove the carjacked vehicle to nearby Watertown, where Tamerlan Tsarnaev was fatally wounded and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev managed to escape.
