Raw: Explostion Hit Boston Marathon

Boston - Two bombs exploded in the packed streets near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, killing two people and injuring more than 100 in a terrifying scene of shattered glass, bloodstained pavement and severed limbs, authorities said. A senior U.S. intelligence official said two other bombs were found near the end of the 26.2-mile course.

At the White House, President Barack Obama vowed that those responsible will “feel the full weight of justice.”  There was no word on the motive or who may have carried out the attack, and police said they had no suspects in custody. Authorities in Washington said there was no immediate claim of responsibility.  Bloodied victims are carried on stretchers and pushed in wheelchairs to safety. Police clear the scene strewn with debris and broken glass. A runner, crying, is comforted after the explosions.




The video was shot by Ryan Hoyme who was seated in a grandstand opposite where the first bomb detonated.
Following the two explosions the emergency services evacuated the area and tended to the wounded.
