Uncle

Ruslan Tsarni (2nd R), uncle of the suspected Boston Marathon bombing suspects, walks with a neighbor April 19, 2013 in Montgomery Village, Maryland. Tsarni asked the still at large bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to turn himself in. After a car chase and shoot out with police, one suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was shot and killed by police early morning April 19, and a manhunt is underway for his brother and second suspect, 19-year-old suspect Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev. The two men, reportedly Chechen of origin, are suspects in the bombings at the Boston Marathon on April 15, that killed three people and wounded at least 170.
