Reports are obviously all over the map. Facts are two devices were detonated in trash barrels along Boylston St near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Reportedly 2 confirmed fatalities & over 100 injured, some seriously. We still have 3 Engines & 3 Trucks staged at the scene along with numerous chiefs. The FBI is investigating this as a terrorist incident. A 12 block area of the Back Bay is cordoned off & will remain so until at least tomorrow as a crime scene. Please keep the victims & Their families in your thoughts & prayers tonight.
