The Tsarnaev Brothers Exchange Fire With Police

On the night of April 18, 2013, the Tsarnaev brothers shot and killed MIT police officer Sean Collier, then carjacked a Mercedes SUV and drove to Watertown. There, they encountered several police officers who tried to stop them. The brothers opened fire with handguns, rifles, and homemade explosives, sparking a fierce gun battle that lasted about 10 minutes.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev managed to escape the scene, but not before hitting his brother with the SUV and dragging him for several feet. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was pronounced dead at a hospital shortly after. He had multiple gunshot wounds and blunt force trauma.[^1^]
