Pic of bomb with white cap guy moving away. You can see the poor 8 year old that was to be killed and his family.

That is pretty crazy. I thought the boy died from the 2nd explosion down the street instead of here by the recognizable store in the background. Wonder why the family's dad wasn't hurt. That's gotta be him right there behind the young girl who also lost a leg no? Also don't see the double-amputee or the girls who's identities were mixed up in the hospital. Wish there was a timestamp on this.

To my knowledge, the boy died in bomb blast #2, his father was running in the marathon. His sister and mother was with him though.

Double amputee was in blast #1 along as with one of the dead girls. Not sure which one the Chinese one was at.

I thought the bomb was a little farther back...almost closer to the store front? I thought I saw a picture in one of the posts that showed a huge black spot almost next to the building wall vs. right next to the mailbox...

The double-amputee and the girl who died were in the first explosion. This is the site of the second explosion. According to what I've read the kid and his parents were trying to get over the barriers after hearing the first bomb go off when the second one went off.

edit: you beat me to it.

Judging from the picture, the mom probably lifted the boy over the railing and unknowingly put him right in front of the second bomb... 🙁
 
EDIT 2:35 EST: Different news places are reporting 1 suspect as dead, and another reporting that same suspect as in custody. Nothing known about his status atm.
 
Story now is one bombing suspect dead, one MIT campus policeman dead, one suspect still on the loose & heavily armed.
