Tuesday marks the first anniversary of the bombings at the Boston Marathon in Massachusetts. On Monday April 15th, , two bombs exploded near the finish line at the race. The explosions killed three people and injured more than 250 others.
Last week, a United States congressional committee invited law enforcement officials from the Boston area to share their experiences. They also discussed ways for other communities to prepare for possible attack. Anna Matteo has been watching developments for us.
Lawmakers from the two main parties were united over Bostons reaction to the events of one year ago. Michael McCaul is chairman of the House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee. He was emotional as he praised police officers from Boston and the neighboring city of Watertown.
Officials say the Boston Marathon bombings were the work of two brothers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. In the early hours of Friday, April 19, the two fought a gun battle with police. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed. His brother escaped but was caught later that night after an extensive manhunt.
