Upon completion of a Congressional investigation into the tragic Boston Marathon bombings last year, it’s being reported that Boston is slated to act as the venue for a hearing designated to give voice to the victims and first responders who witnessed, and were subjected to, the dual pressure cooker explosions.

According to the Associated Press via MassLive, U.S. Representative William Keating (D-9th District) says the House Homeland Security Committee will host the hearing in Boston once it files the applicable report so that the victims and first responders can “talk about what happened and will also allow the country to take away lessons from the response.”

There’s been no mention of a prospective date at this time, nor a location, but Congressman Keating is hopeful that the forum will take place before the 2014 Boston Marathon, which is scheduled for April 21.

The Boylston Street detonations last year killed three and injured 264, though the aftermath proved also fatal. MIT police officer Sean Collier was shot and killed while sitting in his cruiser by the alleged bombers, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and brother Tamerlan, while the suspects also engaged a number of local and state police officials in a shootout on the quite suburban streets of Watertown.

Tamerlan was killed during the bout and Dzhokar was subsequently captured in a dry-docked boat. He’s since been charged with 30 federal counts, which include use of weapons of mass destruction, and 17 of those are punishable by death – of which U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder as given his approval for the prosecution to pursue.

It was announced Wednesday that Tsarnaev’s trial will commence on November 3, 2014.
