Boston Marathon Bombing Toll Rises to 3 Dead, 176 Injured

A third person is now listed as having died from Monday's bombing of the Boston Marathon. Eight year old Martin Richard and twenty-nine year old Krystle Campbell have both been identified, while the third casualty has not.

One hundred and seventy-six other people were injured by the twin blasts, making it the worst attack on US soil, since September 11, 2001. All most of the injured suffered wounds to their legs or lower body.

At this time, the FBI is saying that it does not have any suspects, but they are doing everything in their power to go through the evidence and find out who committed the terrorist act. The Taliban has made a statement denying responsibility for the attack.

Authorities have taken back their previous claims of there being five bombs, and put it down to just the two. At least one of them was made using a pressure cooker filled with black powder, ball bearings, and nails. Once put into place the timer was then set, and the bomb was left behind.

The bombings led to several scares, throughout the US, as people were extra zealous in reporting packages. Multiple airports, universities, and other buildings were cleared for times, over worries. None of the scares have led to the finding of any actual explosive devices.
