“Good afternoon everybody. Earlier today I was briefed by my Homeland Security team
-
on the events in Boston. We’re continuing to monitor and respond to the situation as it unfolds.
-
And I’ve directed the full resources of the Federal Government to help state and
-
local authorities protect our people, increase security around the United States as necessary
-
and investigate what happened.
-
The American people will say a prayer for Boston tonight and Michelle and I send our
-
deepest thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims in the wake of this senseless loss.
-
We don’t yet have all the answers but we do know that multiple people have been wounded,
-
some gravely, in explosions at the Boston marathon. I’ve spoken to FBI Director Muller
-
and Secretary of Homeland Security Napolitano and they’re mobilizing the appropriate resources
-
to investigate and to respond. I’ve updated leaders of Congress in both
-
parties and we reaffirm that on days like this, there are no Republicans or Democrats.
-
We are Americans united in concern for our fellow citizens. I’ve also spoken with Governor
-
Patrick and Mayor Menino and made it clear that that have every single federal resource
-
necessary to care for the victims and counsel the families.
-
And above all I made clear to them that all Americans stand with the people of Boston.
-
Boston police, firefighters and first responders, as well as the national guard responded heroically and continue to do so as we speak.
-
It’s a reminder that so many Americans serve and sacrifice on our behalf every single day
-
without regard to their own safety in dangerous and difficult circumstances.
-
And we salute all those who assisted in responding to quickly and professionally to this tragedy.
-
We still do not know who did this or why and people shouldn’t jump to conclusions before
-
we have all the facts. But, make no mistake, we will get to the bottom of this and we will
-
find out who did this. We will find out why they did this. Any responsible individuals,
-
any responsible groups will feel the full weight of justice.
-
Today is a holiday in Massachusetts, Patriots Day, it’s a day that celebrates the free
-
and fiercely independent spirit that this great American city of Boston has reflected from the earliest days of our nation.
-
And it’s a day that draws the world to Boston’s streets in the spirit of friendly competition.
-
Boston is a tough and resilient town, so are its people. I’m supremely confident that
-
Bostonians will pull together and take care of each other and move forward as one proud
-
city and as they do the American people will be with them every single step of the way.
-
You should anticipate that as we get more information, our teams will provide you briefings.
-
We are still in the investigation stage at this point, but I want to reiterate,
-
we will find out who did this and we will hold them accountable. Thank you very much.”
