Boston Marathon Bombing: 3 Greenfield Runners Entered Race

Two explosions near the finish line of the Boston Marathon had people carrying bloody spectators into the medical tent set up for runners, according to an Associated Press report on the Pocono Record website.

"There are a lot of people down," the AP quoted one man saying. The explosions happened about three hours after the winners crossed the finish line. 

Reuters is reporting there are no indication how many people are injured, according to a story on the Chicago Tribune website, which also said the explosions happened as people were cheering on those still completing the race.

NBC News reported fire engines, police and emergency medical personnel were headed to the scene. An affiliate reporter told NBC News she heard two loud explosions, and that "everybody kind of ducked and hit the ground," and Jackie Bruno, reporter for New England Cable News said she saw people with significant injuries, including one person with a leg blown off.

"Runners were coming in and saw unspeakable horror," Bruno said.  

Patch is following this breaking story.

The Boston Athletic Association website lists the following Greenfield entrants:

• Gary Dobrzynski
• Lisa Farr-Chowanec
• Marianne Koch

Dobrzynski and Koch have finish times recorded on the Boston Marathon website; Farr-Chowanec has no times posted, either for the half or finish.

Dobrzynski, in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, said he was about a block and a half to two blocks from where the bombs went off and had finished the race about 20 minutes before the blast.

"All of these people were running away from the finish line," the 55-year-old told the newspaper. "At that point, there was a lady in the middle of the street. I grabbed her and she was in tears. I asked her if she was OK. She said she was, but she said she was worried about her family. I steered her toward the family waiting area."
