CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Governor Deval Patrick announced shortly after 6 p.m. that Boston was suspending its unprecedented, day-long "shelter in place" order, even as law enforcement continued to search for a single man: 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the remaining suspect in Monday's bombing attack at the Boston Marathon.

"We cannot continue lock down an entire city and an entire state," Massachusetts State Police Col. Timothy Alben said at the evening press conference. The city also announced that it would resume transit service. "We are as committed as we were this morning to apprehending him."
