Boston-BombA DONEGAL woman in Boston has offered her home to any Irish runners stranded in the city after the double bombing at the marathon yesterday.

Nuala Friel-Wright was at work yesterday when the bombs went off, killing three people and injuring more than 150 others.

“I’d be more than happy to help out anyone from home who is stuck due to the bombing,” Nuala told Donegal Daily.

“The city is just in shock today. People are still trying to take it all in.

“Boston was enjoying marathon day when this happened and it is just awful. The emergency services did an amazing job.

“I’d like to help if I can, so if there are Donegal Daily readers who are stuck who can’t get to their hotels or accommodation to contact the site and I’d be happy to help.”

Fanad woman Nuala said she had been at the finish line for previous marathons but had to work yesterday.

American authorities now believe this was a domestic terrorist incident.

In Dorchester residents gatheredt at Tavolo Restaurant in memory of 8-year-old Martin Richard, who was killed in the attack, and his mother and sister, who suffered grievous injuries. Martin’s father, Bill, is a community leader in the Ashmont section of Dorchester. A third child was reportedly uninjured.

“They are beloved by this community,” said City Councilor at Large Ayanna Pressley, who was among the mourners. “They contribute in many ways. That’s why you see this outpouring. It’s surreal, it’s tragic’’

A massive investigation was underway Monday night under the direction of the FBI, as much of the Back Bay was locked down to protect the sprawling crime scene. Last night, officials called the investigation “very active and fluid.” Authorities were questioning at least one person at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, said sources familiar with the situation. Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis said no one was in custody.
