Explosions rock finish of Boston Marathon; 2 killed and scores injured - U.S. News

Explosions rock finish of Boston Marathon; 2 killed and scores injured - U.S. News: "With thousands of runners still on the course, two bombs exploded at the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, killing two people, injuring scores more and turning the city’s most celebrated event into a grisly spectacle of shattered glass, blood and screams.
One of the dead was an 8-year-old child, a law enforcement official told NBC News.
Video from the scene showed people fleeing and an enormous cloud of white smoke after two blasts went off about 20 seconds apart. Emergency personnel carried bloody spectators away."
