Fox News is saying 3 victims have died so far. . . police are now evaluating potential secondary devices.

I also saw a CNN commenter say that many people from Newtown were running in honor of the victims of Sandy Hook, and that the 26 mile marker had been dedicated to the 26 victims there.

Heartbreaking and enraging. . . pray for our world.

What horror. Goes to show that guns are not needed by crazy people who want to murder. Wonder who will claim credit for it. Scary really cause if it can happen in Boston it can happen anywhere.

Stay away from large crowds.

This is why I hate to fly anymore. Airports are not secure.

I will take a beat down instead of going to functions with big crowds.

I guarantee this is just the beginning of a new wave of events.

The thing is we can't let these types of events prevent us from doing things we want to do. You have to weigh your options and do what you want to do. The only way to thwart these types of events is for everyone to be vigilant and to look for anything suspicious and don't be afraid to report those types of things. We will never be able to prevent this type of attack, but maybe we can alert the authorities and get people out of the way before they can do any harm to life.
