So Sad: Photos of 8-year-old Martin Richard Victim of Boston Marathon Bombing

Martin Richard an 8-year-old third grader was tragically killed in the Boston Marathon bombingson April 15. He just wanted to hug his dad at the finish line, but sadly, his life was taken soon thereafter.

Martin Richard who was standing with his mother Denise Richard and sister, 6, when bombs hidden in bins exploded within 12 second of each other, according to The Boston Globe.was killed in the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15. Martin’s father, Bill Richard, was running in the marathon when his son was killed, his wife’s brain was injured and his daughter lost her leg in the blast. I can’t imagine what this family is going through right now.

Before the explosions, Martin gave his dad Bill Richard a hug as he approached the finish line. When Martin ran back to his mother, the first bomb exploded. Reports claims that his mother was seriously injured and she underwent surgery for an injury on her brain and his sister lost her leg in the blast.

So so sad.
