Wow. Wasnt ready for that. I read "graphic" as in "a graphic" put up by a news agency not "GRAPHIC". My lack of reading comprehension. Man o man.
That was rough to see. Makes me have more disdain for the trash that did this.

At the moment, the reports are stating it was a bomb contained in a backpack with ball bearings/shot. Supposedly, Federal LEO have a suspect in custody at the hospital; supposedly he (she?) was injured in one of the blasts. This person is also supposedly on video placing the backpacks.

I'm sorry for that. I edited the post to make that more apparent.
Links?
Man... for guys with a medical background, is an injury like what that poor dude had even survivable? How long would he have before he bled out without immediate attention?

People have survived worse....
This is an incident where EMTs and first responders were on hand in the near-immediate vicinity. I'm sure they had plenty of EMTs on hand to take care of people who pushed themselves too hard, dehydrated, overheated, etc. In the same vein, I've seen a couple pictures where plains-clothes people were the ones administering first aid.
What would/could you personally do if something like this happened and first responders weren't on hand? What if you're badly wounded, a loved one is, and you're not high-enough on the triage-priority list to get attention yet. Do you want to be a 'compromise' wounded-person?
Not to be the nutty prepper, but as shock and remorse passes, my next thoughts go to "what if I was there?" and medical training is about all you got. You can't shoot your guns at that enemy. There's no caliber that solves that emergency threat to life. Even James Yeager, famed for his brash aggressive nature and loquaciousness of violence has often declared vehemently that you're far, far more likely to ever save a life with a med kit than you ever will with a gun. Here's a good example of how that could be true.

Report saying two more "bombs" have been found.
Praying the first responders stay safe....
EDIT: AP saying they've been safely disarmed. Thank goodness....
Approximate locations of detonations.
What a diabolical plan this would be judging by the placement?!? This is some whacked out ****!

Just heard another bomb at the JFK building? I don't have cable so this is hearsay.

Suspect in custody is allegedly a Saudi national. I'll hold my thoughts for later proof.
