As the City of Boston broke out in cheers after the capture of bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the family of slain eight year old Martin Richard quietly expressed their gratitude to Boston’s “thousands” of heroes and prayed for healing through an official statement released to the media.
“Our family wishes to salute the thousands of officers and agents from Boston, Cambridge and Watertown Police & Fire Departments, Massachusetts State Police, FBI, ATF and other police departments and agencies who worked and collaborated around the clock to bring the perpetrators of Monday’s attack to justice.
“It worked, and tonight, our community is once again safe from these two men. None of this will bring our beloved Martin back, or reverse the injuries these men inflicted on our family and nearly two hundred others. We continue to pray for healing and for comfort on the long road that lies ahead for every victim and their loved ones.
“Tonight our family applauds the entire law enforcement community for a job well done, and trust that our justice system will now do its job.”
