Ruppersberger Issues Statement on Boston Marathon Bombings

Congressman C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD) released the following statement after the bombings in Boston today.

“Two bombs exploded today in Boston during the Boston Marathon, killing several people and injuring many others.  My heart goes out to the families of the victims of the bombings, and the entire Boston community.  Our country mourns alongside them. 

We are still learning more about the bombings.  State, local and federal law enforcement officials are working together with the intelligence community to figure out who did this and why.  We are receiving briefings as information comes in and will continue to receive updates from the appropriate agencies. 

The federal government is mobilizing its resources and the Intelligence Community will assist wherever it can. We must hold whoever is behind this despicable act accountable for their actions.”
