President Obama will address the nation at approximately 6:00 p.m. ET Monday, following at least two deadly blasts in Boston that seemed to target the Boston Marathon. You can watch live, above.

Obama has already been in touch with FBI Director Robert Mueller, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and several Massachusetts elected officials and law enforcement. He has promised Massachusetts the full support of national law enforcement and investigators.
