Boston Marathon

Two bombs went off at the finish line of the Boston Marathon earlier today, killing two people and leaving several others badly injured. According to CNN, at least 10 people had to have limbs amputated. 

President Obama spoke to the nation, promising to get to the bottom of the situation and that the people who are responsible will "feel the full weight of justice."

According to The Chief, one runner from Squamish, Canada was warned before the race that if he were to run it, he would die. Mike Heiliger, 59, claimed he heard this from a woman directing marathon participants toward their pre-race packages on Sunday. "I heard her say to this runner two feet away from me that, 'If you run tomorrow you're going to die,'" Heiliger said.

There's no telling whether or not Heiliger misheard the woman, but the story is chilling nonetheless. What is even more chilling is the footage of the actual explosion. The screams of those innocent citizens  made me feel the same way I felt upon finding out about the Newtown shooting.

My heart goes out to those who were affected by the bombings today. #PrayForBoston
