unless you’re fox news…

i had family attending (people who took care of me after my mom died). everyone is safe. My “dad” was at mile marker 24 and is fine. My “mom” was across the street from the explosions. a little shaken up but fine. and my real sister and “sister” were near fenway and are now headed away from everything.

edit: suspect might be a black male in a black hoodie with a backpack

edit edit: lots of information:
