I thought I'd provide some more information. As of 5:35 Eastern Standard Time;
- Approximately an hour after the initial two bombings, a small fire broke out at the John F. Kennedy Library. It is unconfirmed if it is related to the event on Boylson street.
- There are approximately 100+ people injured, 23 critically. Two are dead. Most injuries are orthopedic and include traumatic amputations.
- The Boston 'T' transit system has been shut down in the immediate area, and many facilities in the city of Boston have been evacuated including the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
- Counter-terrorism units have been deployed to the following cities, as well as many others. If you see increased law enforcement in these cities, do not be alarmed. The cities are as follows: New York, NY; Washington, D.C.; Philadelphia, PA; Baltimore, MD; Los Angeles, CA.
- There have since been multiple low flashpoint devices found.
- Google has created a Person Finder to locate individuals and to provide information. If you have any information on this event on a person of interest, please go here.
EDIT: The Boston Bruins game versus the Ottawa Senators at the TD Center has been
cancelled. Infomation regarding person of interest has been removed, cannot be confirmed. President Obama will address the nation at 6:10 PM Eastern Standard Time on all major news networks.
EDIT 2:
According to the [REDACTED], a person of interest has been identified and is under guard at Boston Hospital. More information will be provided as it comes in.EDIT 3:
Cellular service has been shut down in the Boston area. There are conflicting reports on the number of casualties; there may be up to twelve dead, but this is unconfirmed. This has been called a terrorist incident.
EDIT 4: EDIT 2 is now null and void; Boston law enforcement has confirmed that a 20-year old Saudi individual is
not a person of interest. An eyewitness has reported he witnessed the epicenter of the explosion originating from a trash bin. Addendum: The JFK Library fire is supposedly not related.
