Authorities shed no light on a motive or who may have carried out the bombings, and police said they had no suspects in custody. Authorities in Washington said there was no immediate claim of responsibility. ''They just started bringing people in with no limbs,'' said runner Tim Davey of Richmond, Va. He said he and his wife, Lisa, tried to keep their children's eyes shielded from the gruesome scene inside a medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners, but ''they saw a lot.'' ''They just kept filling up with more and more casualties,'' Lisa Davey said. ''Most everybody was conscious. They were very dazed.'' The fiery twin blasts took place almost simultaneously and about 100 yards apart, knocking spectators and at least one runner off their feet, shattering windows and sending dense plumes of smoke rising over the street and through the fluttering national flags lining the course. When the second bomb went off, the spectators' cheers turned to screams. As sirens blared, emergency workers and National Guardsmen who had been assigned to the race for crowd control began climbing over and tearing down temporary fences to get to the blast site. Blood stained the pavement, and huge shards were missing from window panes as high as three stoue to use their checks and ATM cards as they have in the past, she said. Changes in that regard will most likely not be asked until the end of the year and staffing should not change much, McPhee said. "We want our customers to know all along the way that we're committed (to them)," McPhee ries. Boston police said two people were killed. Hospitals reported at least 134 injured, at least 15 of them critically. The victims' injuries included broken bones, shrapnel wounds and ruptured eardrums. At Massachusetts General Hospital, said Alisdair Conn, chief of emergency services, said: ''This is something I've never seen in my 25 years here ... this amount of carnage in the civilian population. This is what we expect from war.'' Some 23,000 runners took part in the race, one of the world's oldest and most prestigious marathons. One of Boston's biggest annual events, the race winds up near Copley Square, not far from the landmark Prudential Center and the Boston Public Library. It is held on Patriots Day, which commemorates the first battles of the American Revolution, at Concord and Lexington in 1775. Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis asked people to stay indoors or go back to their hotel rooms and avoid crowds as bomb squads methodically checked parcels and bags left along the race route. He said investigators didn't know whether the bombs were hidden in mailboxes or trash cans. He said authorities had received ''no specific intelligence that anything was going to happen'' at the race. The Federal Aviation Administration barred lowflying aircraft within 3.5 miles of the site. ''We still don't know who did this or why,'' Obama said at the White House, adding, ''Make no mistake: We will get to the bottom of this.'' With scant official information to guide them, said. "We're big on our commitment to customers and they'll be the first to know."

OKs bill limiting gun permit to individuals SACRAMENTO (AP) — Democrats in the California Assembly approved a bill Monday that would allow only individuals, and not companies, to obtain permits to own assault weapons and .50-caliber rifles. Lawmakers passed AB170 by Steven Bradford, D-Gardena, on a partisan 46-24 vote. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval. Bradford said the bill seeks to close a loophole in state law by prohibiting corporations, associations, partnerships and limited liability companies from receiving permits from the state Department of Justice. Previously, the Justice Department issued permits only to individuals, but an administrative law judge overturned that practice after it was challenged by a gun manufacturer, according to a legislative analysis of the bill. The Justice Department has appealed that decision and the bill seeks to bypass the ruling. ''Under the current situation, a corporation would be able to purchase one of these assault weapons right now and transfer it among its membership without the Department of Justice adequately being able to vet that person who possesses that weapon,'' Bradford told fellow lawmakers before the vote. ''This simply makes sure that that doesn't happen.'' Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, RTwin Peaks, questioned why the bill only applies to corporations and not governments. He said the bill was an assault on individual freedom and will only make it difficult for those in the firearm business to deal weapons. ''I think we're trying to basically craft a solution to a problem that really doesn't exist,'' Donnelly said. Assemblyman Don Wagner, RIrvine, warned that the bill could cause problems for companies because a permit would have to be tied to a person who might leave the company at any time. ''That's a great big loophole,'' Wagner said. The bill is just one of many bills seeking further restrictions on guns and ammunition this year particularly in response to the Connecticut school massacre. Bill seeks to ban plastic bags at Calif. stores SACRAMENTO (AP) — Business groups are supporting a bill that would ban California grocery stores, convenience stores and pharmacies from handing out single-use plastic bags. Dozens of California cities have adopted similar laws, but proposals for a statewide ban have previously failed in the Legislature. Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Los Angeles, said Monday that the latest effort, SB405, has support from the California Grocers Association and the California Retailers Association, as well as from environmental groups. The proposal would ban plastic bags in grocery stores and pharmacies starting in 2015 and in convenience stores and liquor stores by July 2016. ''Single-use plastic bags fill our landfills, clog inland waterways, litter our coastline, and kill thousands of fish, marine mammals and seabirds,'' Padilla said in a news release. members of Congress said there was little or no doubt it was an act of terrorism. ''We just don't know whether it's foreign or domestic,'' said Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security. A few miles away from the finish line and around the same time, a fire broke out at the John F. Kennedy Library. The police commissioner said it may have been caused by an incendiary device but didn't appear to be related to the bombings. The first loud explosion occurred on the north side of Boylston Street, just before the photo bridge that marks the finish line. The second explosion could be heard a few seconds later. They occurred about four hours into the race and two hours after the men's winner crossed the line. By that point, more than 17,000 of the runners had finished the race, but thousands of others were farther back along the course. The attack may have been timed for maximum carnage: The four-hour mark is typically a crowded time near the finish line because of the slow-butsteady recreational runners completing the race and because of all the relatives and friends clustered around to cheer them on. A senior U.S. intelligence official said the two other explosive devices found nearby were being dismantled. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the findings publicly. Runners in the medical tent for treatment of dehydration or other race-related ills were pushed out to make room for victims of the bombing. SHOT Continued from page 1A investigation and police are re-circulating it. Jeronimo ValladaresMata was found in a blue pickup truck with a single gunshot wound to the left side of his head at 4:55 p.m. April 6 on the 3500 block of The Esplanade. He was transported to Enloe Medical Center, but he never regained consciousness. A medical call was received on that day after someone reportedly saw Jeronimo ValladaresMata in his car bleeding, O'Brien said. It was later determined he had been shot. Jeronimo's and Audelino's homicides are being investigated simultaneously, O'Brien said. Although there are interesting similarities in the cases, a common motive or solid connection have not been determined. Both brothers were shot in the head — Audelino was also shot multiple times in different locations, but primarily on his head — in daylight at a mobile home park, O'Brien said. Detectives are still trying to figure out why that occurred and why they were targeted. Audelino and Jeronimo were described and Have a news tip? Call 527-2151, Ext. 112 Are you on a fixed income?

Her husband threw their children to the ground, lay on top of them and another man lay on top of them and said, ''Don't get up, don't get up.'' After a minute or so without another explosion, Wall said, she and her family headed to a Starbucks and out the back door through an alley. Around them, the windows of the bars and restaurants were blown out. She said she saw six to eight people bleeding profusely, including one man who was kneeling, dazed, with blood trickling down his head. Another person was on the ground covered in blood and not moving. ''My ears are zinging. Their ears are zinging,'' Wall said. ''It was so forceful. It knocked us to the ground.'' Competitors and race volunteers were crying as they fled the chaos. Authorities went onto the course to carry away the injured, while race stragglers were rerouted away from the smoking site. Roupen Bastajian, a state trooper from Smithfield, R.I., had just finished the race when he heard the blasts. ''I started running toward the blast. And there were people all over the floor,'' he said. ''We started grabbing tourniquets and started tying legs. A lot of people amputated. ... At least 25 to 30 people have at least one leg missing, or an ankle missing, or two legs missing.'' The Boston Marathon honored the victims of the Newtown, Conn., shooting with a special mile marker in Monday's race. appear to be upstanding citizens, he said. There's nothing that has been discovered that would indicate that these men were shot because of criminal backgrounds, he added. Detectives do not have a lot of information on Jeronimo ValladaresMata's death, O'Brien said. There's also no suspect description for the April 6 incident. During the 2007 homicide investigation, detectives were able to obtain good witness statements and complete a composite of the suspect, he said. The suspect in the 2007 homicide is described as a Hispanic male approximately 25years-old at the time, who speaks English with a heavy accent. He is approximately 5-feet8-inches, 170 pounds, and had a military cut black hair with tan complexion. He was reportedly wearing a "very distinctive and gaudy cross pendant with a figure of Jesus Christ on it." Anyone with information regarding either of these incidents is encouraged to contact the Chico Police Department's Detective Bureau at 897-5837 or at 8974943.
