‘There are a lot of people down’: Dozens injured as two ‘huge’ explosions rock Boston Marathon
Two explosions shattered the finish of the Boston Marathon on Monday, sending authorities out on the course to carry away the injured while stragglers in the 26.2-mile race were rerouted away from the smoking site.

Fox News is reporting that police say three are dead, as spectators said they saw people being carried off with lost limbs.

Police have not indicated what the source of the two explosions could be.

Competitors and race volunteers were crying as they fled the chaos. Bloody spectators were being carried to the medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners. (AP Photo/Charles Krupa)
