Mother of Explosion Survivors Calls Marathon Bombing Suspects 'Cowards'

After reuniting with his injured brother earlier in the week, Stoneham native and Boston Marathon bombing survivor Paul Norden left Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital on Thursday, according to a WBZ-TV report.

While JP Norden remains at the hospital, Paul Norden headed toward the car in his wheelchair with his 5-year-old niece Gabby coming along for the ride, according to the report. Paul also was seen giving hospital staff hugs before getting into the car under his own power, according to the report.

Like his brother, Paul Norden lost a leg in the marathon explosions on April 15.

Mother of Norden Brothers Reacts to Bombing Suspect's Note

Boston Marathon Bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev left a note in the boat he hid in during the manhunt in Watertown, claiming that the bombings were retaliation for the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, while also saying that he and his brother, Tamerlan, were martyrs, according to a CBS News report.

After learning of the note, Liz Norden told reporters at the hospital that Dzhokhar's words were "disgusting" before referring to the Tsarnaev brothers as "cowards."

"These guys, everybody that got hurt, they are all human beings. It’s a cowardly senseless act," she said in the report. "I just can’t imagine how somebody could do something to these innocent people."

She also took a moment to thank family, friends and hospital staff for their support, according to the report.
