Boston Commissioner says Bombs at multiple locations

ED DAVIS BOSTON COMMISSIONER:

"At 250 PM, EXPLOSIONS OCCURRED ALONG ROUTE OF BOSTON MARATHON EACH RESULTED IN MULTIPLE CASUALTIES. ALL VICTIMS REMOVED FROM SCENE IMMEDIATELY. WE ACTIVATED A SYSTEM OF RESPONSE THAT IS IN PLACE FOR THESE INCIDENTS, THE FBI AND STATE POLICE SENT RESOURCES.

AT THIS POINT WE HAVE DETERMINED THAT A THIRD INCIDENT NEAR THE JFK LIBRARY, THOUGH NOT CERTAIN THEY ARE RELATED.

PEOPLE STAY HOME, IN HOTELS PLEASE GO TO YOUR ROOM AND DON’T CONGREGATE IN LARGE CROWDS.

TWO NUMBERS FOR PEOPLE TO CALL:
1. FOR FAMILIES LOCATING PEOPLE 617-635-4500
2. IF YOU SAW SOMETHING OR KNOW SOMETHING THAT CAN LEAD TO AN ARREST CALL 1800-494-TIPS

AFTER THE INCIDENT THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE RUNNING, LEAVING BAGS ALONG THE PARADE ROUTE, EACH IS BEING INSPECTED AND THERE IS A PERIMETER AROUND THEM.

AGAIN, A TOTAL OF THREE INCIDENTS HAPPENED: 2 HAPPENED SIMULTANEOUSLY AND THIRD AT JFK LIBRARY.

STAY CALM."
