The Boston Marathon was highlighted by a thrilling finish on the Men's side, as Ethiopia's Lelisa Desisa outraced Micah Kogo of Kenya and Gebregziabher Gebremariam of Ethiopia to win Monday's famous race.
But multiple outlets and law enforcement officials are reporting what a horrific looking scene makes clear. The headquarters at the Boston Marathon have been locked down after two explosions were reported near the downtown finish line mid-Monday afternoon, near the Boston Library.
Boston police confirmed that there were two explosions — and casualties — but were not saying who or what might be responsible. "There were two booms heard from near the finish line inside the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel," reports the AP.
