There is a person of interest being questioned in connection with the blasts at a local Boston hospital. That is what is known and has been confirmed.

It is such a sad tragic day here in my city of Boston. My heart aches for those affected. Prayers & positive are needed for all those injured and the families of those killed. Prayers & good thoughts also needed for the city to come together & be strong
