Martin Richard, an 8-year-old boy was killed on Monday at the end of the Boston Marathon. The mother and sister were both critically injured in the blast. Martin's mother underwent brain surgery Monday night and his sister, 6, lost a leg in the blast. The status of his father, Williams, has not been released publicly.
The two explosions in Boston drew a swift response from the New York Police Department, as they began to mobilize their anti-terror units, bomb squads and additional uniformed presence to key New York City landmarks and buildings.
Members of Congress strongly suggested on Monday that the deadly Boston Marathon explosions were acts of terrorism.
Eric Williams, a former Texas official jailed who lost his job as Kaufman County justice of the peace last year, may be seen as a a 'prime suspect' in the slaying of two prosecutors, even as one lieutenant investigating the case said that he is yet been charged with murder.
