It has been confirmed that 8-year-old Martin Richard was one of 3 people killed in the Boston Marathon bombing that is being called a “potential terrorist attack.”
Martin had just given his father a hug after he crossed the finish line and was returning to his mother and 6-year-old sister when the explosion took his life. His mother suffered a severe brain injury and little sister’s leg was blown off.
Martin was in the 3rd grade.
“This cowardly act will not be taken within stride,” Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis told reporters. “We will turn every rock over to find the people who are responsible for this.”
According to reports, approximately 133 people, including several other children, were injured. Amputations and burns are among the injuries listed and the death toll is expected to climb.
