2 killed, more than 100 injured in Boston Marathon bombing

Two killed in bomb blasts near finish line of Boston Marathon, Boston police say. Area hospitals say at least 110 are injured.

Two explosions happened at about 2:50 p.m., more than two hours after the first of the race’s nearly 27,000 runners had crossed the finish line.

Boston.com journalist reports “blood everywhere,” people missing limbs.
Race called off; Red Cross and Google set up websites to help people find loved ones in the area.

Boston cell phone services were overloaded in the wake of the blast, slowing the city’s network dramatically and hampering the investigation in the early going, federal law enforcement officials told CNN.
