85yr old man participating in the marathon fell owing to the hit of the explosion
(CNN) -- Two bombs struck near the finish line of
the Boston Marathon on Monday, turning a celebration into a bloody scene
of destruction.
Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said Monday night that the death toll had risen to three. Scores were injured at the scene.
One of the dead was an 8-year-old boy, according to a state law enforcement source.
Hospitals reported at
least 144 people are being treated, with at least 17 of them in critical
condition and 25 in serious condition. At least eight of the patients
are children.
At least 10 people injured had limbs amputated, according to a terrorism expert briefed on the investigation.
Several of the patients
treated at Massachusetts General Hospital suffered injuries to lower
limbs that will require "serial operations" in the coming days, trauma
surgeon Peter Fagenholz said Monday night. Some injuries were so severe
amputations were necessary, Fagenholz added. get more HERE
