2 Dead, At Least 98 Hurt In Explosions At Boston Marathon Finish Line


BOSTON (CBS) – Two people are dead and several dozen injured after two bombs went off near the Boston Marathon finish line Monday afternoon.
It happened around 2:50 p.m. outside Marathon Sports on Boylston Street as thousands of runners were finishing the race.
CBS News senior correspondent John Miller said there is “an individual in custody,” a Saudi national who was near the scene of the blast.
Miller said a civilian claims the person was acting suspiciously and chased him down and tackled him after the explosions.
The man is said to be cooperating with investigators and denies any involvement.
