Special Agent in Charge Richard DesLauriers Speaks at Press Conference Regarding Boston Marathon Explosions

PRESS RELEASE APRIL 16

Remarks given by Special Agent in Charged Richard DesLauriers at press conference.

I would like to start this morning by thanking the first responders from Boston EMS and Boston Fire Department and the volunteer physicians, nurses, and medical staff from the community who volunteered at the marathon. Their services and heroic actions saved lives yesterday afternoon.

We continue to work shoulder-to-shoulder with our JTTF [Joint Terrorism Task Force] partners and the Boston Police Department and the Massachusetts State Police, as well as all of the other JTTF agencies.

Our mission is clear—to bring to justice those responsible for the marathon bombing.
