12:59 PM PT
-- Boston Marathon officials are now calling them bombs. There are reports of police responding to additional undetonated devices in the area, but nothing's confirmed. The BPD has called in all off-duty officers.

12:50 PM PT
 -- The New York Post is now saying at least 12 people are dead.

12:40 PM PT -- Three people have reportedly been killed by the explosions. Dozens have reportedly been injured. Some are saying they were bombs ... but that hasn't been confirmed. There's blood everywhere.

Terrible news ... a pair of explosions rocked the finish line of the Boston Marathon this afternoon ... and the injuries are gruesome.

New Kids on the Block member, and Boston native, Joey McIntyre was running in the race and just tweeted that he crossed the finish line just ahead of the dual blasts.

"There was an explosion by the finish line about 5 minutes after I finished- I'm ok but I'm sure there are many hurt," he tweeted. (Above is a selfie he took at the starting line).
