The world is still in shock after the bombings at the Boston Marathon on Monday, April 15th. There were 3 deaths, including 8-year old Martin Richard, and at least 174 people were injured when two bombs exploded near the finish line of the race.
Martin Richard
Actor Mark Walhberg was born and raised in Boston. He had a difficult time speaking about what happened last night at the New York premiere of his new film, "Pain and Gain."
"I really didn't even want to come tonight. I hadn't really heard much. I spoke to my mom, and most of my family seems to be OK. It's such a big event, there's so many people there. It's horrible man. It's f*cking disgusting, man. I just - I'm very upset," Wahlberg told the Associated Press. "You try to put everything in God's hands and whatever happens here is out of our control and there's a bigger picture. But it's still obviously upsetting,"
G-Unit mogul 50 Cent shared similar thoughts on the tragedy.
"I don't even know, what is the response to violence? It's usually more violence," 50 said. "When you see kids involved in it, I can't write it off."

Coolio made the mistake of bringing another woman to the home he shares with the mother of his baby. To make matters worse he assaulted his baby's mom up after doing so.
According to TMZ, Coolio allegedly pushed his girlfriend Anabella Chatman to the ground and punched her in the face on April 1st. The 49-year old rapper then reportedly took off with their child and the other woman. In the process he hit Anabella with his car, leaving tire marks on her leg.
When cops caught up to Coolio, real name Artis Ivey Jr., he told them that he was the victim because his girlfriend scratched him in a jealous rage.
Needless to say the police didn't buy the rapper's story and arrested him.

BOSTON — Two bombs exploded at the venerable Boston Marathon on Monday, killing two people, sending hundreds of runners scrambling for cover and rattling nerves around the nation, authorities said.
The blasts occurred in rapid succession as thousands of people were still running. Video footage showed an explosion off to the side as runners were nearing the finish line, with some toppling over from the concussion. Smoke rose into the air, and photos of the scene showed a sidewalk slicked with blood.
The explosions, occurring on the Patriot’s Day holiday that commemorates the Revolutionary War battles of Lexington and Concord, were as shocking in their symbolism as in their force. The Boston Marathon is a highly prestigious race and is as much a symbol of Boston as Fenway Park.
Two federal law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the blasts were caused by explosive devices. The repercussions extended from Massachusetts to Washington, where President Obama was briefed by top officials, the White House increased security, and the Justice Department and FBI mobilized to fully investigate what had happened.
In a brief appearance at the White House shortly after 6 p.m., Obama expressed sympathy for the victims of the blasts and said all the necessary resources of the federal government would be assigned to assist Boston officials in determining the cause of the explosions.
“We still do not know who did this or why, and people shouldn’t jump to conclusions before we have all the facts,” Obama said. “But make no mistake — we will get to the bottom of this.”
A White House official called the explosions an “act of terror,” saying authorities have much to learn about who was behind it.
“Any event with multiple explosive devices — as this appears to be — is clearly an act of terror, and will be approached as an act of terror,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. “However, we don’t yet know who carried out this attack, and a thorough investigation will have to determine whether it was planned and carried out by a terrorist group, foreign or domestic.”
In addition to the two confirmed deaths, police said more than 20 people were injured. Other media reports placed the injury toll as more than 100 people.
Initial reports of another explosion at the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston turned out to be an unrelated fire. Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick urged people to “stay out of crowds” as they made their way home.
A CNN producer who was at the race said the first large explosion was followed about 10 seconds later by another blast. He said he saw at least five or six people who appeared to be injured.
Emergency personnel rushed to the area, and the street was quickly sealed off.
“I saw it go off and smoke billowed up. Everyone just stopped and hunched down,” said Pam Ledtke, 51, from Indianapolis, who was about 75 yards from the finish line when the explosions went off. “They didn’t know what to do,” Ledtke said.
“All of a sudden, people were screaming,” Ledtke added.
