Support for Boston: Clearwater Community Members React

As news broke Monday afternoon that at least two people died and another 22 were injured after two explosions occurred near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, community members began to offer thoughts and prayers on Facebook.

According to the Boston Marathon's website, at least four runners in this year's race listed Clearwater as their hometown. If you wish to search for 2013 Boston Marathon runners, click here.
