Tragedy struck Boston two days ago during the Boston Marathon as you may have heard. If you have not there was a bombing during the Boston Marathon which also happened to be Patriots Day. There were two blasts that killed at least 3 people injured 141 others. The bombs were planned to go off at the time the most runners would be crossing the finish line. While very few runners were hurt, the majority of people hurt or killed were in the stands. Among the dead is an 8 year old boy who was with his mother and sister who are in critical condition. The President is calling this an act of Terror but also highlighted the heroism and bravery of the officers and fire fighters who saved those injured in the blasts. They quickly took the debris off of the wounded, and got them into ambulances as fast as they could. The entire city worked together to get through the tragedy. While these events were so devastating, the courage of those who saved the injured and the bravery of the city can ensure us that we are all safe.
