12:00 p.m. ET: MIDDAY WRAP :
Boston and surrounding suburbs are on lockdown as a "massive manhunt" continues for "Suspect 2," a man identified as Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, and accused of carrying out a deadly bombing Monday at the Boston Marathon.

Acquaintances who knew the men, but have not had recent contact, describe them as mild-mannered, friendly and assimilated.
