Explosions Mar End of Boston Marathon: 4 From Roseville Were Running

Update, 1:50 p.m.: Bruce Falzarano, a Roseville competitor in the race, posted on Facebook that he is safe.

"I am OK," Falzarano wrote. "I had finished the marathon about an hour before the explosions. We were about 3 blocks away when the 2 blasts went off."

Original post: 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, four people registered for the race from Roseville. Of those, all but Heather Drake are listed as 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. The numbered injured or any casualties have not been released.
