Apparently first explosion occurred, then about 20 seconds later, the second went off. Boston hospitals have gone into disaster mode.

Apparently inside Marathon Sports Store which was the press center.
Awful - reminds me of our '96 Olympics terrorist here...

A third explosion was just set off by the Boston PD. Must have discovered another bomb?

Injuries and deaths. Local tweets reporting ball bearings / shrapnel. Could be real or could be panic but does not look good.

So far 3 dead from 2 explosions first was at Marathon Sports, second was in a trash can outside of Abe & Louie's steak house, and they found a third bomb outside of the Boston Public Library, the bomb squad detonated it immediately rather than risk transporting it.

Total of 4 devices scattered across city - I'd call it terrorism. Domestic or Foreign, it smells like it to me.

Unconfirmed, packages suspected were at street level.
3rd bomb detonated in controlled explosion by BPD JFK fire being reported as electrical, likely unrelated.

Just catch the Bastards that did this... innocent human beings enjoying a harmless sporting event killed and maimed....
You know, the term "Bastard" is too good for those...... things..... They don't qualify as human... |
