Explosions Mar End of Boston Marathon: 2 From Citrus Heights Were Running

A day of celebration has turned into tragedy and chaos as two explosions take place about an hour after the first man crossed the finished line in Boston this Monday.

According to the Boston Athletic Association website, two people registered for the race from Citrus Heights. Of those, Carol Mouw is listed as not having finished the race.

It's likely that others from the city travelled out there to give them support. Patch will continue to report this story as it develops and bring news about our local runners as we hear more.

There is no confirmation about what may have caused the explosion.

If you know anyone of these people, please encourage them to call Patch or their family members. More than 20 people have been reported injured, and two have died, according to Boston Police.
