Two explosions Monday near the finish line of the Boston Marathon have left two dead and several wounded, the New York Times is reporting.

Bloodied competitors and volunteers were seen leaving the scene and a medical tent near the finish was being used to treat the injured, the Times reports. Fox news cites the Boston Police Department in reporting that at least three people are dead and dozens injured—including at least 10 who have amputated limbs.

Boston Police also say no suspects have been taken into custody, according to CNN.
