[Update, 7:57 p.m. ET] Doctors are “pulling ball bearings out of people in the emergency room,” a terrorism expert briefed on the investigation told CNN’s Deborah Feyerick.

The same source said the blasts resulted in at least 10 lost limbs.

[Update, 7:43 p.m. ET] An 8-year-old boy was among those killed, a state law enforcement source said, according to CNN’s John King.

[Update, 7:38 p.m. ET] At least 132 people – including eight children – have been injured in the bombings, according to Boston-area hospitals. Boston police earlier said that two people were killed.

At least 17 of the injured are in critical condition, and at least 25 are in serious condition, area hospitals said.

[Update, 7:08 p.m. ET] A witness, Marilyn Miller, told CNN that she was about 30 feet away from the first bomb when it went off. The second bomb came about 12 seconds after and about 50 to 100 yards away from the first, according to authorities and an analysis of video from the site.

The liberals are allied with the muslim extremists and will run interference for them by blaming the right.

Then once its learned it was their side that did this, they shall go silent on who did it.

Ball bearings in an explosive device is a nasty weapon. Just think of buckshot going in all directions. Nasty, nasty weapon.

Not to make light of the horrific event, but

congress critters are probably plotting to use this to further disarm regular Americans, even as authorities trying to figure out details.
