NEW YORK, N.Y. – New Kids on the Block singer Joey McIntyre tweets that he’s OK after two bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon minutes after he completed the 26.2-mile run.
The 40-year-old tweets Monday that “there was an explosion by the finish line about 5 minutes after I finished.”
He adds: “I’m ok but I’m sure there are many hurt.”
Two bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing two people and injuring at least 102 others. A senior U.S. intelligence official said two other explosive devices were found near the finish line.
