(CNN) -- Police sealed off densely populated portions the Boston metro area early Friday after a violent night chasing the Boston Marathon terror suspects left one of the men and a police officer dead.
Police ordered businesses
in the suburb of Watertown and nearby communities to stay closed and
told residents to stay inside and answer the door for no one but
authorities. The subway and Amtrak train systems have been shut down.
Every Boston area school is closed.
"It's jarring," said CNN Belief blog writer Danielle Tumminio, who lives in Watertown.
Boston's public transit
authority sent city buses to Watertown to evacuate residents while bomb
experts comb the surroundings for possible explosives.

Honoring the Boston bombing victims
Police shot one of the
men dead after a wild car chase through Watertown in which authorities
say they hurled explosives at pursuing officers.
Police believe the men
are the same ones pictured in images released Thursday by the FBI as
suspects in the marathon bombing that killed three people Monday.
The men are shown in the images walking together near the finish line of the marathon.
The first suspect, the
one believed killed by police, appears in the images wearing a dark hat,
sunglasses and a backpack. The second suspect, wearing a white cap, is
the one who remains at large, police said.
