An uncle of the Boston marathon bombing suspects said Friday that he was stunned to learn that 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving man who is still at large, was involved in the incident. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the 26-year-old brother, was killed in a firefight with police early Friday.
“It’s crazy,” the uncle said in an interview with CBS affiliate WBZ. “It’s not possible. I can’t believe it.”
“I’m sorry, too,” he added. “If he did this, I’m sorry, too.”
Correction: This post incorrectly identified the suspects’ uncle as Ruslan Tsarni, which happens to be the name of a second uncle who lives in Maryland. The identity of the uncle quoted above is not yet known.
