Explosions Rock Boston Marathon; 2 Yucaipa, 1 Hemet Runner Participating

The 2013 Boston Marathon was rocked by two explosions near its finish line, about four hours, nine minutes into the race.

According to the race's website, two Yucaipa runners were participating in the race.

• Isabel Biasetti, 46, whose finish time wasn't immediately available 
• Douglas Headrick, 49, who finished in 03:06:05

There was also a man from Hemet: 

• William Fogg, 56, whose finish time wasn't immediately available 

The status of the runners is not yet known. 

It’s not clear yet what happened or led to the explosions, or who was injured.

It's likely that others from the city travelled out there to give them support. Patch will continue to report this story as it develops and bring news about our local runners as we hear more.

There is no confirmation about what may have caused the explosion.

If you know anyone of these people, please encourage them to contact their family members, and let us know in the comments.

The Associated Press reports that two people have died, and at least 23 others were injured in the explosions.
