President Obama has been notified of the fatal explosion in Boston and has directed his administration to provide "whatever assistance is necessary" to investigate and respond, a White House official told Fox News.
The official said the administration is in contact with state and local officials.
Details of the explosion, which ripped through the crowded finish line at the Boston Marathon, are emerging. One law enforcement source told Fox News at least three are dead. Dozens are reported injured.
Vice President Biden, during a conference call on gun violence, also commented on the tragedy.
"I don't know any of the details of what caused it, who did it ... but our prayers are with those people in Boston who suffered injury," Biden said.
