viewers on what we know right now, two explosions killed at least two people, according to "the boston globe," at least 110 people have been injured. nbc news is reporting one of the dead is an 8-year-old child. cnn has not yet confirmed that report. congressman bill keating of massachusetts tells cnn two other unexplode ed devices were found in the city. police say those unexploded devices are now being investigated, examined. president obama spoke out from the white house this hour, a little while ago, and while he stopped short of calling this a terror attack, he did vow that whoever is responsible will feel what he called "the full weight of justice." certainly, it's been a chaotic scene for emergency workers on the scene, they've been rushing to treat the wounded only moments after the explosions. let's bring in our chief medical correspondent, dr. sanjay gupta. sanj sanjay, as you know, there are a number of medical personnel already at a marathon, especially near the finish line, because a lot of runners are exhausted and they collapse. >> yeah, so that is a piece of good news, i gues

. >> there is also this mother of five, the boston globe spoke with, liz norden. her two sons were in the stands at the finish line when the blast, 12 seconds apart went off. each son ultimately lost a part of his leg from the knee down, the globe reports. she told the paper, i feel sick. one family from the dorchester neighborhood of boston maybe bearing the worst of what happened nearly 24 hours ago. they gathered to celebrate their father to finish the rain and they suffered the loss of their child, 8-year-old richard martin, seen here in a facebook photograph, one of the three people that we know have died. the boston globe tells richard's story, quote, one of the dead was an -year-old boy from dorchester who had gone out to hug his dad after he crossed the finish line. the dad walked on, the boy went back to the sidewalk to join his mom and his little sister and then the bomb went off. that little sister also injured and the mother as well. that's what richard's family is dealing with. obviously that devastating loss. gary tuchman now is live in dorchester wi

the front page of this morning's "boston globe" proflames "authorities have image of bombing suspect." we also know the identity the third victim killed in the blast, 23-year-old lingzi lu. 29-year-old krystle campbell and richard martin were killed. >> reporter: good morning, richard. let's talk about the investigation first. the authorities have been vesting photographs, images from anybody in the public. it appears that is now paying off, perhaps the most successful images coming from a security camera at lord & taylor across the street from the finish line. but those images show what appears to be somebody taking duffel bags and placing them at the spot where the bomb exploded. so there's a major focus of attention on those pictures trying to analyze them to see if they can then lead to who may indeed be a suspect. meantime, as you mentioned the president will be making a visit here to boston for an interfaith memorial service. the president will be joined here by so many bostonians. of course, one of the concerns, security has, because it's another large gathering if somebody wou

according to the "boston globe," they took a break for ice cream before changing their seats to watch the end of the race at the finish line. today his mother who is a librarian at his school and his sister are still seriously injured and 8-year-old martin has become a symbol of innocence. this photo of him holding a sign reading "no more hurting people, peace," when he went on a peace march at his school, has been endlessly tweeted and shared across the globe. on "morning joe" we showed you the images yesterday. a chalk drawing he made over the weekend, still outside his home. and the word peace near the front of the house. by night fall, more than 1,000 people had gathered at a nearby playground in dorchester for a candlelight vigil. another victim identified just yesterday afternoon, krystle campbell, would have been 30 a few weeks from now. at one point she moved in her grandmother for two years to care for her after she underwent surgery. tragically at the hospital, krystle's parents were first told that her friend who she had gone to the race with had died only to be told later

two journalists of "the boston globe" were at the finish line. they were taking in the scene, as the runners and first responders reacted to the attack. here's what they saw. >> just the finish line, getting the late runners across, at 2:50 p.m., sitting up on the finish line. things going along swimmingly. and then, boom. and smoke just billowed straight up into the air. and me and the other photographers just immediately ran over there. and within 20 seconds of that, as we were starting to get a grip on the scene, a second explosion went off up in the ne next corner, at boylston and fifth. both devices were in trash cans. we had a number of cuts and bruises. facial cuts. i saw a man who lost part of his leg. the police, the fire, everyone was scrambling. it was a chaotic scene. and the injuries were nothing short of horrific. the other thing turned quickly into a crime scene. it's been known as the best day in boston. a lot of people out there, unfortunately. they turned a beautiful day into a horrific day and nightmare. >> i was standing on th
