was 25 feet from blast #1..
2 confermed dead one a 8y/o kid
over 100 hurt 50 very very bad, like missing legs, etc.
2 blast happened not long after 1st..

the 3rd was the police setting on the one they found. they have found at least 4 more..
they shut down all cell service so they could not set off anymore..

(here's what he said concerning the ball bearings)
not some... many.. sadly..
I'm shaking so bad..
'm not good with blood and having to help the med.. wasn't good, but you don'y think about that then,, but it's hitting me now..

He's very lucky to even be alive. God Bless ya, Mark
Prayers go out to all at the scene,and the families who lost loved ones there today..Your bud Mark is indeed lucky to be alive after being so close to it all.. It is indeed a filthy act,when innocent children get caught up in it all.. i hope the lowlife pond scum responsible get caught,,and soon..
