A Moment of Silence For Victims Of Boston Marathon Bombing

Governor Dannel P. Malloy, following a request by Massachusetts Governor Deval L. Patrick, has asked Connecticut residents to observe a moment of silence at 2:50 p.m. today in recognition of the victims of the bombing at the Boston Marathon last week. 

“Connecticut stands with Massachusetts in honoring the victims of the tragedy last week in Boston,” said Governor Malloy. “I’ve directed state agencies to join Massachusetts in a moment of silence at 2:50 today, and am encouraging Connecticut residents to do the same. We thank law enforcement and first responders for their actions at the marathon and in the days that followed. Our thoughts remain with the victims of this senseless tragedy and the families mourning the loss of their loved ones.”
