4/15/13 - Several local residents were entered in the race, including Barbara Isom of Howell. She had already finished the race before the explosions started and spoke with WHMI just a few minutes ago. She said it appeared that the bombs went off about 15 minutes after she finished, and one appeared to be located where her mother and daughter had been waiting for her. The two powerful explosions were heard just seconds apart, at around 2:45pm. Isom says the mood in Boston is very somber, with people listening to news reports for updates. She told WHMI that authorities are also in the process of dismantling three additional devices that were found. Two employees from The Running Lab shoe store in Brighton who took part in the marathon are also said to be safe. (JM/TD)
