people have been killed and up to 100 people have been injured after
two large bombs went off near the finish line of the famous Boston
Marathon today, leaving behind a scene of carnage. It
was revealed that an eight-year-old child was one of the two people
confirmed dead in the blast, and additionally, a three-year-old boy was
injured in the day's chaos.
Hours after
twin explosions rang out near the city's Copley Square, President Obama
appeared before the nation to tell them, 'We still don't know who did
this or why they did this,' vowing that Americans stand by those
affected.
The

that on days like today, 'there are no Republicans or Democrats,'
emphasizing that it is crucial not to categorize the bombings as
terrorist attacks.
He made
clear that the 'full weight of justice' would be brought down upon those
responsible. 'We will find out who did this and hold them accountable,'
he said.
