Two explosions near the finish line of Monday's Boston Marathon killed "three and injured more than 130," according to Time Magazine (http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/04/15/boston-marathon-horror-twitter-erupts-with-word-of-explosions-at-the-finish-line/), while Boston's CBS affiliate, WBZ-TV, places the number of injured at over 140.
The explosions went off near the race's finish line at 2:50 p.m. as "thousands of runners were finishing the race," WBZ-TV went on to report. One of the dead was an 8-year-old boy.
Upon learning of the bombings, President Barack Obama issued a brief statement. "We will find out who did this and we will hold them accountable," President Obama said.
So far, no one has claimed responsibility for the bombings.
