This image taken and provided by Lucas Carr shows the blood-stained shoes he was wearing during the Boston Marathon, on Monday, April 15, 2013. Army Sgt. Lucas Carr arrived at the finish at 2:48 p.m., and was standing with his girlfriend about 50-yards away when the bombs went off about a minute later. "I knew what it was, knew what the repercussions were," he said. He told his girlfriend to run west, back onto the race course, because he knew everyone else was running the other way. The second bomb, he suspected, was placed where it was because it was along the most obvious escape route for those trying to flee the first. A few seconds later, he was in the melee _ an Army Ranger back in the middle of the blood and casualties he thought he'd left for good when he came home from the Middle East. (AP Photo/Lucas Carr)
