From ABC 7 New York:

The FDNY reports that up to fifteen people were sent to the hospital with minor injuries. No fatalities have been reported.

As a precaution, the NYPD bomb squad is searching the area for any secondary devices.

Two cars on 23rd and 6th had their back windows blown out. An 8-year-old who was in the back seat was injured.

I’d like to note also, that at this time, CNN and MSNBC are both ignoring the story, and instead broadcasting Obama’s idiotic speech at the Congressional Black Caucus Dinner. Hope and Change, baby!!!
