The gunfight involved several hundred rounds being fired and explosives similar in scale to the ones used on Monday being lobbed at the police according to this briefing. Given that the chase seems to have covered a good fraction of the metro area, it's plausible he got out during the confusion.

 

I'm wondering if he found a way to grab a different car. That'd be the best way out he could get.

they were describing them as grenades, so not similar in scale to monday

The six-month gap with the older brother was overseas is what is most concerning. Who was he meeting with? Did he learn bombmaking skills there? Did he meet with other terrorist cells? Etc, etc.

Definitely seems like the older brother was the more radical/naturally violent one and probably influenced the younger one to follow a similar path. Obviously that's just speculation on my behalf, but there's been a lot of sketchy/negative info reported on the older brother and not quite as much on the 19 year old.

Someone had a boat in their backyard/driveway. Police had checked the boat earlier in the day but right after the shelter-in-place had been lifted, a resident noticed the boat door was open and blood and called police. Police responded and 20+ shots were fired. Suspect is assumed wounded/dead but no confirmation yet.
