'When I looked outside my window, I could clearly see two people (the Tsarnaev brothers) taking cover behind an SUV and engaging in gunfire.'
He ran to the third floor of the home to seek shelter from the gunfire.
'As I ran into my room, overwhelmed by shock, adrenaline, and curiosity, I jumped onto my bed to stay below the windows but also have a clear view at the shooters and photograph the event,' he said.
He described seeing the men jump out of a green sedan, which they returned to for supplies - 'assumingly, more ammunition and explosives'.
Aftermath: When the gun battle was over, police rushed to where the green sedan was parked and announced there were other devices on the street, sparking a search

In another picture, he highlights a dark object that he identifies as a pressure cooker bomb.
'The use of this explosive created an enormous cloud of smoke that covered the entire street,' he wrote. 'While the street was still cloudy with smoke one of the brothers started running down the street towards the officers, while still engaging them in gunshots.
'As he got closer to the officers, within 10-15 yards of them he was taken down.'
Kitzenberg added he had been unable to see whether police knocked him to the ground or shot him.
His brother then jumped in their car and barreled towards the police cars barricading the end of the street. Authorities said he ran over his brother.
The images reveal the moment Dzhokhar headed for the police cars - dodging between two.
'The SUV side swiped both cars taking out doors and windows and ultimately broke through the vehicle barricade and continued driving west on Laurel St.,' Kitzenberg wrote on his blog. 'This was the last I saw of the black SUV.'

Watertown police chief Edward Deveau said David Henneberry, of Watertown, was checking his boat after the lockdown was lifted on Friday evening and noticed the straps were not the way he had left them.
He looked in the boat, saw blood and someone huddled in a corner and quickly called police. The discovery set up the final confrontation and capture of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was pictured being taken away on a stretcher, remains in the hospital as he recovers from a bullet wound to the neck.
He told investigators in scrawled notes on Monday that his brother orchestrated the attacks because he 'wanted to defend Islam from attack', but that he and his brother were not linked to any Islamic terrorist groups.
