Bulletin: Two persons are dead, and police officials peg the number of those injured by a pair of bombs at 22...so far. Authorities reportedly found two more bombs near the scene and are dismantling them. A competitor told newsmen that he saw people with limbs completely ripped off their torsos and many bloodied by flying shrapnel...
Boston
– Authorities can't say exactly how many runners and spectators are
injured after two bomb blasts rocked the finish line of the Boston
Marathon.
Witnesses
said the first explosion seemed to come from the base of a photo
bridge near the finish line. Seconds later, as people rushed forward
to help, another blast rocked the scene.
Medical
workers rushed to the aid of many injured persons as newsmen and
women snapped pictures of the carnage on blood-spattered sidewalks and
police officers cleared the grandstands.
Within
minutes, the area was virtually deserted, the victorious achievements
of many who bested the grueling 26-mile endurance test up and down
hills and through this city's streets, suddenly rendered meaningless in a moment of horror as terror showed its face in an attack that rocked the nation.
