    CNN saying they are just arresting somebody, but don't know if it's the suspect.

    Actually major mistake by Michael Skolnik. He did not state in his original tweet that he was just passing on info from Fox news. Everyone trying to pass the buck (blame).

    Really? On CNN they are saying the older brother was a citizen but the younger one wasn't yet.

    With the age of the internet and twitter News outlets try to get everything out so fast (as to be first) that they don't bother to take the time to fact check anything.

    A couple of articles I've read said the older brother was not a citizen, but a permanent resident and planned to become a citizen, but that the younger one was. Who knows?

    I mean, earlier, people were reporting that the suspects being chased were two completely different dudes.

    These guys are Russian, right? Maybe the Nets owner REALLY doesn't want to face the Celtics in the playoffs?
