The area near the Boston Marathon finish line has been evacuated after two unattended bags were discovered.

WBZ-TV photographers on the scene, which earlier in the day was the site of a tribute to last year's bombing victims, reported they saw a man with a backpack screaming "Boston Strong."

The Boston Police Department reported on Twitter two unattended backpacks were found in the area of the Boston Marathon finish line. They asked people to avoid the area. A bomb squad was en route.

Screaming and drawing attention to themselves. . . . Anybody else get the feeling that someone hoped this would distract from Bunkerville?
