Boston Marathon explosion

The Boston Marathon blasts occurred a few seconds apart on opposite sides of the street. The race was halted after the explosions as was subway service into the area.

 

The damaged area, according to photos uploaded by onlookers and journalists to Twitter, appears chaotic, smokey, and partially evacuated. Horrifyingly, eyewitnesses have reported “blood everywhere.”

At least two explosions rocked the finish line at the Boston Marathon on Monday afternoon.

 

Paramedics were treating several victims at the scene, and police ordered onlookers to back away from the area. Troops from the Massachusetts National Guard were assisting police as well.

Onlooker Josh Matthews said he heard the blast, then saw police running toward the scene.

“We just heard a lot of sirens, and people were kind of frantic, and it was a bad situation, so we got out of there,” he said.

CNN reports say two people are dead with twenty two others injured in explosions.

 

We will update as more information comes in.
