The Armenian Genocide Commemoration event to be held at the Massachusetts State House has been cancelled as SWAT teams were going door to door searching for one of the suspects of the Boston Marathon bombings, The Armenian Weekly reported.

Authorities pressed for a total lockdown in the area, asking that residents in Watertown and the surrounding cities and towns including Newton, Belmont, Waltham, Cambridge, Boston, and Brookline remain indoors. All public transportations have been suspended as well, and businesses have been advised to remain closed.
