What is wrong with people???

After yesterday's explosions at the Boston Marathon which killed 3 people and injured 176, medals and jackets that may have been stolen are showing up on eBay and are up for auction.

We're not sure why anyone would do such a horrific thing knowing that the whole nation is in complete distress over this tragic event, but hey, anyone will do anything to make a quick buck.

So sad!

We certainly hope she's correct.

Now that we know that the bombs used in the Boston Marathon tragedy may have been pressure cookers hidden in backpacks, the Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano is stating that the explosions that ended up killing 3 people and injuring 176 were not part of a broader plot.

Napolitano said:

The Boston Marathon tragedy has left many in distress, 176 wounded and 3 dead, and with more details beginning to unravel, investigators now think that the bombs were 6-liter pressure cookers hidden in backpacks.

According to reports, one of the bombs contained metal and ball bearings, while another was jam packed with nails.

Law enforcement officials are saying that the explosives were dubbed as low, which means they traveled under 3,300 feet per second and were not strong enough to create a blast wave, but were strong enough to blast the ammo from long distance.

As Americans stand together to keep everyone strong during the horrible Boston Marathon tragedy, our president Barack Obama is pushing forward, and is speaking out further on the horrific event.

Currently, no suspect has been found, but considering that there were bombs involved, Obama is stating that this attack was definitely an act of terrorism.

In the clip (above), Barack explains that he and his team are doing everything they can to get to the bottom of the attack and he also thanks everyone who was at the event for their acts of kindness.

Things just keep getting worse.

The injuries from the Boston Marathon tragedy just climbed to 176, but the casualties stayed at 3.

Federal authorities are currently searching for a suspect, and although some think a young Saudi Arabian man who is currently in the U.S. on a student visa may be the brainchild behind this tragic event, they can't blame him for the bombings because authorities didn't find anything that links back to the event in his Revere, Massachusetts apartment.

The aftermath of the Boston Marathon tragedy is far from pretty.

Reports are now confirming a total of 3 people dead, which includes an 8-year-old boy, and over 150 people hospitalized with at least 17 in critical condition and 41 in serious condition. At least eight of the wounded individuals are children.

Orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Albert Pendleton, who was helping out at the race's medical tent said that the tragedy was "basically like the bomb took out he legs of everybody. It was horrific," and considering that ball bearings were removed from wounded patients, a terrorism export is suggesting that the bombs were created to explode before they reached their target.

After two explosions went off near the finish line at the Boston Marathon earlier today (above), reports are stating that at least 2 people are dead.

According to a law-enforcement source, 10 people are being treated with amputated limbs at the Massachusetts General Hospital and at least 2 people might be dead.

We really hope there aren't that many casualties. Our prayers go out to everyone in Boston.
