Hearing that it's now being considered as a bombing, but I guess all the signs were pointed that way to begin with.

Sounds like the two bombs were placed in trash cans. This sounds more domestic than international.

They also may have video of a potential suspect. Who ever this was, they were targeting the crowd and not the runners.

Boston Chief of Police just stated that there was a 3rd explosion at the JFK library

Hearing conflicting reports. Some saying it was an unrelated mechanical fire, some saying it was a controlled explosion, some saying not, etc.

Either way this is tragic and awful.

being reported a guy in a yellow penske truck was trying to gain access to the street where the bombs exploded, and he was carrying "medical supplies". Boston police are looking for said man.

He did say that he was unsure if it was related. But still called it a 3rd event.

There was a controlled explosion but not at the JFK library. The police chief reported that one.
