AP Breaking News as of 4:06 PM EST: Boston Police Department: 2 dead, 22 injured in 2 explosions near marathon finish line
Thoughts and prayers to those affected.
My uncle competes in marathons and Iron Man races all the time, and ran the Boston Marathon today, so needless to say I was incredibly worried when I heard the blasts occurred as the first few waves of racers were finishing. Thankfully he's okay (and finished in record time!).
EDIT: Aaaaand my mom just texted me saying he had crossed the finish line 10 minutes before the bombs went off. Holy pomegranate.
