The corner of Huntington and Dartmouth Streets in Boston Tuesday morning, where a large medical tent is set up. Several military vehicles, the Massachusetts State Police mobile command center, Boston Special Police Operations and emergency apparatuses remain.
BOSTON -- Media satellite trucks are parked along Dartmouth Street, reporters from around the world positioned at the cordoned off corner; and at nearby Back Bay station, transit police and U.S. Army personnel are inside watching passengers as they arrive and depart.
Runners in their blue Boston Marathon jackets remain in the city, at the Westin Copley Place Hotel, where the next news briefing is expected Tuesday morning, and The Fairmont Copley Plaza. The mood is somber and the area of Copley Square remaining blocked off, is a large crime scene.
