Three people were killed and more than 100 injured on Monday afternoon when two explosions went off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Rescue organizations have gathered to help and at the the tragic scene, but how can you help? The Huffington Post has put together a helpful list of ways:

The FBI is now leading investigations of the events. Davis confirmed that three people were killed in today's blasts. CNN is reporting that one of the victims killed was an 8-year-old boy. The Wall Street Journal had reported

I was horrified when I went to the Boston Marathon website and saw that there were local runners participating in the event today, and were there when the explosions occurred.
