There were conflicting reports Wednesday afternoon about whether officials had made an arrest in the investigation of the deadly Boston Marathon bombings. 

CNN was first to report that an arrest had been made, citing anonymous law enforcement sources. NBC News then cut in with a report saying that no arrest has been made.

Boston TV station WCVB reported that an arrest “is imminent or may have already taken place.” Meanwhile, the Associated Press reported that a suspect was in custody and expected to be brought to federal court.
