The Boston Police Department has confirmed three have died; CNN is reporting that 141 people have been injured and that one of those who died is an 8-year-old boy. 

Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency confirms there were explosions but has not released any further details. Public Safety blogger Alert New England reported that all ambulances in the area were diverted to the scene.

Boston EMS is setting up triage on Boylston, with thousands of police and emergency personnel on scene. Anyone looking for a runner is being directed by Boston Police to go to Boston Common.

One eyewitness, Jennifer Curro, said she was right next to the Prudential Center when she heard two explosions.

"It was the loudest thing I've ever heard it stopped us in our tracks," she said.
