That's the thing that is puzzling: How does one escape a shoot out with the police? Run over and break a barrier with a car, and then essentially disappear when there are 1000s of authority figures chasing him, while confining him to a 20 block radius.

Obviously there's not too many significant details released so far but it's getting embarrassing for the police. About 12 hours ago they had the most wanted man in America contained in a few blocks, now who knows where the fk he is.

Exactly! I was very impressed with the police work. 4 days after the bombing they identified suspects release pictures of the suspects. 5 hrs later, they're spotted/kill an officer. 1 hr later they engage in a shoot out with the suspects killing one. 14+hrs later missing one of the suspects who's possibly shot and confined to a 20 block radius. The search is still ongoing. Going door by door with 1000s of police there, it's like he just vanished.

Maybe since he was shot, he found a hidden location and died in the process.. and now they are looking for a body that isn't moving so obviously it would slow efforts a bit.

Exactly, it's so baffling. He had to of thrown a smoke bomb and disappeared into the night. But seriously, he must have an accomplice, no one just vanishes.

according to the times report at 12:30 they covered 60-70% of the area they wanted to search. it's now 4:30 how much more area do they need to search to find this guy.
