Dr. Peter Fagenholz, of Massachussets General hospital, said his hospital had treated 29 patients. Eight of those patients were in critical condition. Many of the injuries were to the lower limbs and doctors had performed several amputations, he said.
Fagenholz, a trauma surgeon, said that they were seeing signs of shrapnel-type injuries, but he couldn’t say if it was from a bomb or whether it was metal from the environment. -

The Associated Press identified another of the three people killed as 29-year-old restaurant manager Krystle Campbell of Medford, Mass.
William Campbell says his daughter, who worked at a restaurant in nearby Arlington, was "a very caring, very loving person, and was daddy's little girl." He says the loss has devastated the family.
Campbell was at the race with a friend to see the friend's boyfriend cross the finish line, her father said. The friend was also injured in the blast, AP reported. -
