• A wake was held in Medford, Mass., for bombing victim Krystle Campbell (Sunday).
• Authorities are looking at the possibility that a neck wound on Dzokhar Tsarnaev was the result of a suicide attempt.
• Word of Tamerlan Tsarnaev's 2011 FBI interview and 2012 trip to Russia raises concerns about signs of his increasingly radical views. Republican Reps. Peter King and Michael McCaul want to know why the FBI released Tamarlan Tsarnaev after questioning him in 2011. Republican Rep. Mike Rogers says he does not believe the FBI failed to detect any suspicious behavior.
• Watertown Police Chief Ed DeVeau, recounting the chase and capture of the suspects, says the two fired 200 to 300 shots at his officers, then tossed what appeared to be a pressure cooker bomb.
• The ACLU questions whether it's appropriate for law enforcement officials to use a public safety exception to justify not reading Dzhokhar Tsarnaev his Miranda rights.
