Tribute Note Left for Killed Terror Suspect at Site of Shooting

A note of tribute to the man killed by terror investigators after he lunged at them with a knife has been left at the site of the fatal Boston shooting.

The note expressing solidarity with 26-year-old Usaamah Rahim was left on a small blue pillow Thursday, two days after the killing. The FBI says it moved in on Rahim when it did out of concern he was planning an imminent attack.

The unsigned note says in part: "You were human. They never look at us like that though. ... I pray you're at peace. I'm sorry for what they did to you."

Police say Rahim lunged at members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force on Tuesday after they approached him to question him about "terrorist-related information."
