The first reports -- first via social media and then via news outlets -- about the pair of explosions at the Boston Marathon have not been conclusive as to the number of people dead or injured, and officials have yet to make an official statement about the incident.

Reports have emerged that law enforcement officials were investigating a possible third explosive device near the Mandarin Hotel in Boston, and the city is on high alert as more information continues to emerge regarding the horror in the Massachusetts capital.
