Bombing victim Heather Abbott spoke with her surgeon, Dr. Eric Bluman, at a Brigham and Women's Hospital press conference about her decision to amputate below the knee.

“It certainly was a difficult decision, but when I weighed the pros and cons, I think this was the best option for me,” she said.

In Boston, people continued to remember the victims, leaving messages at a memorial.

Meanwhile, the FBI's investigation into the bombings spread to the Crapo Hill Waste Facility in New Bedford.
