BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com) – An apparent explosion has hit the finish line area of the Boston Marathon.

Witnesses reported hearing a loud explosion near the finish line just before 3 p.m. Video from Skyfox showed a number of emergency crews in the area tending to victims.

There appeared to be blood on the ground near the finish line.

Reuters was reporting that the Boston Marathon headquarters were in lockdown.

No other details were available.

FBI: ‘No Piece Of Information Or Detail Is Too Small’

We reported earlier that the FBI has taken over the investigation, but here's the information on the special FBI public tip line:
The FBI has set-up 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324), prompt #3, for anyone who has information, visual images, and/or details regarding the explosions along the Boston Marathon route and elsewhere. No piece of information or detail is too small.
 
Please continue here. Remember all TOS and do not start conversations that are racist/biased. We don't need to profile, please.

I will make a separate thread for the Texas explosions that we are just now hearing about.

ETA: Remember to refer to any/all potential POI by initials. This is a standard rule at WS and in this case, we will be enforcing it because there is just too much potential to hurt innocent people.

Remember NOT to post pictures of innocent people, please. Think about it - what if it was your picture being plastered all over the internet in connection with a terrorist attack?

Is anyone thinking the shooting at MIT has anything to do with the bombing suspects?
 
Do #1 and #2 dress like typical east coasters? Or west coasters? They sure don't seem to be dressed as non-american tourists
 
Lots of crazy stuff happening with the MIT situation on the other thread....
