Information is still unfolding at the time of this posting. FOX News reports as of 1:35 PM (PST).
FOX News is also conducting live streaming video.
Yahoo! Sports has a photo gallery up and running.
For those of us in the Pacific Northwest, The Seattle Times is also covering the story.
Here's what we know so far:
--Two explosions occurred near the finish line at 2:50 PM (EST).
--Two people confirmed killed.
--Pennsylvania Ave in Washington, DC has been closed to all traffic.
--Two additional explosive devices were discovered.
Meanwhile, marathon is still going on, with runners being re-routed.
It will take time to sort out exactly what happened, not to mention trying to assess who's responsible for this heinous crime.
Update 2:40 PM (PST):
One of my friends e-mailed us a YouTube link of an on-scene video from The Boston Globe.
(I wouldn't call this video graphic, but you do see fleeting glimpses of casualties from the first explosion being tended to).
Update 7:57 PM (PST):
US News provides a timeline of the marathon, the bombings and the response so far.
