Boston marks 3rd anniversary of deadly marathon bombing

BOSTON (AP) — Boston marked the third anniversary of the deadly 2013 marathon bombings with subdued remembrances.

The governor and mayor joined victims' families this morning for a brief and quiet ceremony at the finish line on Boylston Street.

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker and his wife, Lauren, bowed their heads in silence after helping the father of one of the three who died, 29-year-old Krystle Campbell, place a white flower wreath. Mayor Marty Walsh placed a second wreath with the families of the other slain victims, 8-year-old Martin Richard and 23-year-old Lingzi Lu.

No one spoke.

A bagpipe played softly before the occasion, which was observed by nearly 100 people including survivors, their families and supporters.

A multicolored banner with a peace sign, a heart and words Martin Richard had written before his death – "no more hurting people ... peace" – hung on an empty storefront.
