After takeoff; we received a Bleed 2 Leak message on the EICAS and overhead panel. My Captain was flying while I was doing the appropriate checklist. There was no Bleed 2 Valve close message on the EICAS. We declared an emergency with ATC and shut down Engine Number 2. The Bleed 2 Leak message on the EICAS and overhead panel did not go out until right before landing. We notified the company and informed the Flight Attendant. After we landed; CFR people on the ground checked out the airplane and said it was ok. We taxied back to the gate with Engine Number 1; a Bleed 2 Leak message with a leak inscription on the overhead panel.
