Moment of Silence at 2:50 pm on Monday Will Honor Marathon Bombing Victims

by reporter Lisa DeCanio

It has been seven days since two bombs went off near the Boston Marathon finish line, wounding more than 170 people and killing three. What was supposed to be a sunny and joyous New England holiday one week ago turned into one of Boston's most horrific, inciting a manhunt that resulted in a fatal gunshot wound of an MIT police office, and eventually led to the killing of one and the capture of another bombing suspect.
In honor of the victims, authorities and those otherwise affected by last week's bombing, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, Boston Mayor Tom Menino and The One Fund are calling for a statewide, one-minute moment of silence at 2:50 p.m. on Monday, April 22. That time is approximately when the first bomb went off during last Monday's race.
The moment of silence will be used to honor the victims and their families, according to a press release. The minute of silence will be followed by the ringing of church bells throughout the Bay State.
