Some employees from Fleet Feet in West Hartford were in Boston today for the Boston Marathon, as were some of the stores customers, so news of the explosions hit home.
Chaz Koch, of Fleet Feet, said they first received word from a staff member positioned just a few feet from the finish line.
“I actually got goose bumps, to be honest with you. Kind of nerve wracking, cause you don't know what to think,” Koch said.
He immediately started to make calls.
“It happened kind of quickly all at once. By the time I texted one person to make sure they're OK, I got a phone call and three other texts that -- they're OK,” he said.
