CNN’s Brooke Baldwin spoke with one of the first responders in the Boston Marathon bombing. Charles Buchanan, a Boston Fire Department veteran, was feet away from the second explosion and discovered the body of the youngest victim. He said Monday was the “worst day in my career.”

Novelist and Boston native Dennis Lehane reflects on the marathon bombing and aftermath. In a New York Times op-ed he wrote: “Two different friends texted me the identical message yesterday: They messed with the wrong city.”
