    Just watching this now. Apparently, blew out the windows of a nearby store. Not clear on injuries/deaths, if any.

    ...definitely not al-queda, definitely not Iran, definitely not North Korea, definitely not anyone else that we are at war with (or trying to start a war with)! My guess is another FBI entrapment scheme that, once again, got a little out of hand. Be mindful of buzz words like "domestic terrorism", "militia", and "constitutionalists"!

    Nonetheless, this is definitely a tragedy for those injured and affected by this event -- thoughts go out to them and their families.

    Police say are they still finding "secondary devices," pleading with crowd to go home

    I've got a friend who runs it almost every year -- hope she's okay. Guessing she finished well before it, but she's pretty social and I'm worried she might've been hanging around the finish.

    My father just arrived in Boston last night. Shit, no answer. I know it's highly unlikely, but this is scaring me a bit

    Bomb squad about to explode suspicious device across from library. Officers told to take cover behind vehicles



    Police have found an exploded device and will have a controlled explosion within one minute near 600 Boylston across from the Boston Public Library.

    He should be at a university, not in a crowd.

    Texting or email (assuming he has a smartphone) are probably best. I just emailed my friend, but no word yet.

    Reports coming in that ball bearings found-therefore not an accident but an intentional act to inflict harm.

    State Police ordering firefighters to shut off cell phones

    ABC is reporting that Mass. General says that two people have died. Unconfirmed.
