Also on Saturday, there was an explosion in New Jersey on the planned route of a Marine Corps charity 5k run. In a separate incident, there were multiple stabbing victims after an attack at a mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
As for the explosion in New York City, authorities are still trying to sort everything out and determine if there was a second device:

On her campaign plane Saturday night, Hillary Clinton was asked about the explosions and referred to them as “bombings.” After being informed that Donald Trump also called them “bombings,” things got a little more complicated:

They were definitely bombings, unless Trump said that’s what happened, in which case more information is needed? It’s all very confusing, but it looks like the two candidates agree on what happened, albeit unintentionally.
WTF? Clinton refers 2 NYC explosion as "bombing" AFTER WHICH reporter invites her 2 attack Trump 4 calling it a bomb https://t.co/3MKSsvdBe0

Hillary can call it a bomb, but Trump can't, and he is supposed to get more information before calling it a bomb. https://t.co/bK2eUwD4Ld

This just in: A bombing is caused by a bomb. You're welcome @ABC https://t.co/PAhCT9e74h

I guess we should be impressed she's actually up this late. If this was Benghazi, she'd have been in bed hours ago. https://t.co/SFOi8pJPPf
