On Monday, two small but powerful bombs exploded at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. No one has claimed responsibility for what authorities have labeled a "terrorist" attack. Some 175 people were injured, and three people, including an 8-year-old boy, were killed.
In the days since, local state and federal authorities have sought clues to determine who was responsible for the attack. Authorities have determined that at least one bomb was likely built from a pressure cooker, filled with gunpowder as well as nails and BBs to inflict damage.
Many of the injured received wounds to their lower bodies, which caused the loss of feet and legs.
The three dead have been identified as:
- Martin Richard, 8
- Krystle Campbell, 29
- The third victim is a Boston University graduate student and Chinese national, whose family has asked ABC News not to name.
