BAY ST. LOUIS, MS (WLOX) - Last week, when the firefight between the Boston police and the two bombing suspects happened, State Representative David Baria and his family were in Boston. The Barias were stuck in a Boston hotel just a block away from where the bombs went off during the Boston Marathon.
Back home, the state lawmaker shared his family's terrifying story.
"One time I looked out the window and I saw that these bomb robots were being deployed right outside of my window of course that got my attention," Representative Baria recalled.
The state lawmaker captured the tense moments with photos from his Boston hotel room.
