The Boston Marathon Bombing occurred on April 15, 2013, during the annual Boston Marathon. Two homemade bombs were detonated near the finish line, resulting in three deaths and over 260 injuries. The attack was carried out by brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who were motivated by extremist beliefs. In the aftermath, a massive manhunt ensued, leading to the capture of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev days later. The event prompted increased security measures at public events and discussions about terrorism and public safety in the United States. The bombing remains a significant moment in recent American history.
