Authorities shot and killed one suspect in Monday’s Boston Marathon bombings and were conducting a massive hunt for a second suspect in Watertown, Mass., Friday morning following a chaotic night that left one police officer dead and another critically wounded in the Boston suburbs.

The suspects — introduced to the world via photos and video footage Thursday night — were identified as brothers, law enforcement officials said Friday morning. The one still at large was identified by law enforcement authorities as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge.

The brothers’ alleged motive in the bombings, which killed three people and injured more than 170, remains unknown.

Law enforcement officials said they believe the suspect may be strapped with explosives, and they are taking extreme measures during a massive manhunt to avoid further loss of life.

“This situation is grave. We are here to protect public safety,” Police Commissioner Ed Davis said. “We believe this to be a terrorist,’’ Davis told reporters. “We believe this to be a man here to kill people.”

All public transportation was shut down in the greater Boston area Friday morning, for reasons of public safety, officials said, and no vehicle traffic was permitted in or out of Watertown during the massive manhunt.

Residents of Watertown and several surrounding suburbs — Newton, Cambridge, Waltham and elsewhere — were asked to stay inside. Colleges and universities announced they would close for the day, and businesses were instructed not to open.

Thousands of officers searched house-to-house, and parts of Watertown were being evacuated.

The mayhem began about 10:30 p.m. when a Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus police officer responded to a disturbance. That officer was found fatally wounded inside his vehicle on the campus in Cambridge, according to the Middlesex District Attorney’s office.

The shooting launched a massive police response. A short time later authorities received reports of an armed carjacking by two males nearby in Cambridge. The men were later identified by police as the two suspects they were searching for in Monday’s deadly marathon bombings, which killed three people and injured more than 170.

Police began a search for a Mercedes SUV that had been taken at gunpoint by the two males and was later spotted in neighboring Watertown, the district attorney’s office said.

Watertown police officers located the vehicle and after stopping it, exchanged gunfire with two men in a residential neighborhood. During the firefight, authorities said, multiple explosive devices were thrown from the vehicle and some exploded, which led to panic and concern in the town.

A transit police officer was critically wounded in the firefight, authorities said.

Police fatally injured one suspect during the firefight, the district attorney’s office said. He was taken to Beth Israel-Deaconness Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, doctors there said.

The man, whom authorities later identified as the suspect pictured in a black baseball cap in photos released Thursday evening, had been shot multiple times in the torso and also sustained injuries from some sort of explosives, doctors at the hospital said. He was in cardiac arrest when he arrived at the hospital, and could not be revived.

A second man fled the vehicle on foot, which prompted the massive search by authorities. They created a 20-block perimeter in a section of Watertown and advised residents to lock their doors and only answer to uniformed police officers.

At 6:30 a.m., a time when residents of the town would normally be waking up and starting to head to work or school, the streets were deserted save for a massive police presence.

“We have an active search going on by tactical teams. He’s considered armed and dangerous,” Col. Timothy P. Alven, said at a televised early morning news conference.

Investigators believe the man who is at large is suspect No. 2 in the photos, which were culled from surveillance footage shortly before Monday’s attack. He was pictured wearing a white hat on Monday.

At the news conference, officials released a surveillance photo from a convenience store in Cambridge taken before the fatal shooting at MIT. That photo showed a man police also believe is suspect No. 2. He was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt late Thursday night.

Law enforcement officials said they are shutting down the transportation system and are instructing residents to stay indoors because they believe suspect No. 2 may be strapped with explosives.

At the site of the shootout with police, bomb squad technicians worked to render secure several devices safe that had been thrown after the stolen SUV was stopped, Alven said.

Lil Flip has turned a bad situation into a worse one. The Houston rapper was busted in Louisiana last Christmas after police found weed and an AR-15 assault rifle during a traffic stop. He was charged with possession of a firearm, possession of a schedule 1 narcotic (weed), and speeding.

After bailing out of jail, Flip, real name Wesley Eric Weston, vowed to fight the charges. He showed TMZ his Texas concealed handgun permit that was good in Louisiana and 22 other states. The rapper also claimed the weed the police found was actually "Black and Mild" wine flavored cigars and clove cigarettes.

In February he pleaded not guilty to all charges. He was scheduled to appear back in court this month, but didn't show. The judge in the case immediately issued a warrant for his arrest, according to TMZ.

BOSTON — The FBI on Thursday released photographs and video of two men said to be suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings that killed three spectators and injured more than 170 other people.

Richard DesLauriers, special agent in charge of the FBI office in Boston, appealed to the public for help in identifying the two men, whom he cautioned should be considered “armed and extremely dangerous.”

Appearing at a news briefing with U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz, DesLauriers said the two men, both carrying what appeared to be heavy bags on their backs, walked together through the crowd of spectators. He said the man identified as Suspect No. 2, wearing a white cap, was seen leaving his bag at the site of the second explosion Monday. The other man, Suspect No. 1, wore a dark cap.

“We initially developed a single person of interest,” not knowing whether the man was acting alone or with others, DesLauriers said. The FBI later determined that there was a second suspect, he said.

“Today we are enlisting the public’s help to identify the two suspects,” he said. Photos of the men were displayed on easels set up in the briefing room, and DesLauriers said the images would also be published on the FBI’s Web site.

“Somebody out there” knows who the men are, DesLauriers said, adding: “We consider them to be armed and extremely dangerous.” He warned the public: “No one should approach them.... Do not take any action on your own.” He urged people instead to contact law enforcement.

Earlier Thursday, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told a House committee in Washington that the FBI wants to interview individuals seen in at least one video from the vicinity of the Boston Marathon finish line, but she would not describe them as suspects.

Testifying before the House Homeland Security Committee, Napolitano did not provide details of the men’s appearance or say what the video shows, the Associated Press reported. “There is some video that raised the question” of what the men were doing, she said.

Napolitano said it remains unclear whether the bombs that exploded Monday near the finish line of the renowned race were the work of foreign or domestic terrorists.

“We don’t know yet whether the attack was planned and executed by a terrorist organization, foreign or domestic, or if it was an individual act,” James R. Clapper Jr., the director of national intelligence, told lawmakers during a separate hearing on worldwide threats. “Lone wolves, domestic extremists and jihad-inspired or -affiliated groups are certainly determined to attack,” he added in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee.

With the investigation proceeding, President Obama, first lady Michelle Obama and members of the Massachusetts congressional delegation flew to Boston to attend an interfaith prayer service, console victims of the bombings and their relatives and thank medical personnel and first responders.

Napolitano spoke a day after the daunting task of sifting through thousands of images of the Boston Marathon bombing site in search of a culprit suddenly telescoped to a video from a Lord & Taylor security camera.

The discovery of video of a man who wore a large backpack to the finish line area and then dropped the package there raised hopes Wednesday for an imminent breakthrough in the case, setting off a media frenzy and insistent statements from authorities that no arrest has been made. A Boston city official said the video is of “special interest” to investigators.

The second full day of the investigation into the attack brought jitters, rumors and at least the hope that investigators had made important progress. Massachusetts Gov. Deval L. Patrick (D) said that while the probe is “making some progress . . . it’s going to be slow, it’s going to be methodical.”

Boston’s federal courthouse, where hundreds had gathered in response to false reports of an arrest, was briefly evacuated Wednesday because of a bomb threat. Officials also evacuated a Boston hospital, Brigham and Women’s, and Oklahoma City’s City Hall because of suspicious vehicles outside. No explosives were found in those cases.

In Boston, many of the injured were released from hospitals. At Brigham and Women’s, which initially treated 35 people, only 11 were still hospitalized Wednesday evening, four of them in critical condition.

And Boston University released the name of a previously unidentified woman who was killed in the blast. Lu Lingzi, a graduate student in math and statistics at the university and a Chinese national, was watching the race with friends when the bombs blew up.

Wednesday’s whirlpool of reports demonstrated the extraordinary promise and power that new technologies bring to criminal investigations, but also the risk and unreasonable expectations that now permeate such probes. When federal authorities asked the public for help Monday, they received thousands of video clips and still images of the bomb site.

Some people, empowered by smartphones and ever more sophisticated technology, didn’t leave the detective work to the professionals. They joined forces on sites such as Reddit.com to examine crowd pictures, searching for — and then virally distributing — image of backpacks that resembled the shredded bag in photos the FBI released Tuesday.

Black backpacks turn out to be ubiquitous, and when five of them were found in a single photo of the crowd on Boylston Street, the search quickly drew criticism from readers worried that innocent people could be harmed by being identified as suspicious.

Others questioned whether black backpacks were even the most important lead, recalling the search for white box trucks that steered investigators astray in the D.C. sniper case a decade ago.

At midday Wednesday, news organizations such as CNN and the Associated Press reported that investigators had identified a suspect or made an arrest, leading the FBI to issue an unusual appeal: “Contrary to widespread reporting, there have been no arrests made in connection with the Boston Marathon attack. . . . Since these stories often have unintended consequences, we ask the media, particularly at this early stage of the investigation, to exercise caution and attempt to verify information through appropriate official channels before reporting.”

CNN said it “had three credible sources on both local and federal levels” for its reports. “As soon as our sources came to us with new information, we adjusted our reporting.”

In Boston, police barricades still ringed a 12-block area around the finish line, guarded by city police and the Massachusetts National Guard.

Doug Silkwood, a runner wearing his official marathon jacket, stopped at the barricade and recalled how he’d expected his first Boston Marathon to end with “hundreds of thousands of people having a great time.” The bombings dashed all that, said Silkwood, 47, an engineer from San Jose: “It’s probably easier to protect a Boston Celtics game than an open event like the marathon,” but he said he plans to return next year, “to do it out of spite.”

At Boston Medical Center, Jenny Chung, a 35-year-old teacher, was released at midday Wednesday, less than 48 hours after shrapnel was blown into her chest, two inches from her heart.

She wore an honorary marathon finisher’s medal and carried a teddy bear that relatives had sent her. The medal was a gift from a marathon volunteer; Chung did not run the race, but was a spectator, there to watch a friend whose run ended prematurely.

Chung had been poised to video her friend’s triumphant finish when she was knocked to the ground. She felt little pain as she and her friends hurried away.

Only when she got to a friend’s apartment did she see blood oozing from her chest. She went to the hospital, where doctors quickly operated to remove the fragment. Investigators collected all her clothing, including her sneakers, for possible clues, she said.

At the finish line, Chung had stood with her runner friend’s boyfriend, who held a half dozen yellow helium balloons. Shrapnel from the blast cut open the boyfriend’s calf, and popped some of the balloons. The rest slipped from his grasp as he fell. In video of the scene, a few yellow balloons drift upward, above the carnage.

Anyone with information should call the bureau's toll-free number, 800-CALL-FBI (800-225-5324),
