Wet conditions for the runners at the 2019 Boston Marathon.

The Boston Marathon is Monday and thousands of runners, including some locals, will take to the streets to run the 26-mile course.

In a story originally reported by ABC News we learn that one of the 2 Boston Marathon bombing suspects has been killed in a firefight with police officers.

Special Agent Rick DesLauriers of the FBI, who is leading the investigation of the Boston Marathon bombings, just held a press conference in which he revealed that there are two suspects. The FBI released photographs and video of two men believed to be responsible for the attacks.

After the horrific events of yesterday's bombing at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, one of the first things to consider after all the wounded are treated is, "How can we help?"

Wallace Robertson was lucky. The Shreveport man who made the trek out to Massachusetts for the 2013 Boston Marathon is reportedly unharmed by the two explosions that went off along the race route on Monday afternoon, killing at least two people and wounding more than 100.

 Several locals who ran the 2013 Boston Marathon are reported to be unharmed. Of the 10 Shreveport and Bossier City natives who actually started (12 were registered), we've heard that many, including Wallace Robertson and Jeff Thomas, finished the race prior to the explosions and were not injured. Four of the Shreveport runners, however, currently only have halfway times listed by the Boston Athle

A 7-second video uploaded to YouTube appears to show footage of one of the blasts that rocked the Boston Marathon on Monday afternoon. The video was filmed from the sidewalk near a street marathon runners and catches a huge explosive sound and smoke plume that shocks the crowd.

CNN is reporting that one of three killed by the dual blasts was an 8-year-old boy and that eight children are among the 100+ currently hospitalized from injuries they sustained.
