The blast, which took place at 2:40 p.m. local time, happened between the Sennaya Ploshad station and the Technological Institute station. At least 45 people were hospitalized from the blast.

Russia's Investigative Committee called it an "undetermined explosive device." The committee, which is the country's primary federal investigative authority, has opened a criminal probe into what it has classified as a terrorist attack.

Pictures showed passengers appearing to flee a smoke-filled station as well as what appeared to be a mangled train car.

An improvised explosive device rigged with shrapnel was also found in a third St. Petersburg station, the Ploshchad Vosstaniya station. It was defused by bomb technicians and no one was hurt, officials said.

Russia's Interfax news agency reported that authorities believe this was a suicide attack carried out by a 23-year-old from Central Asia. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskov said tonight that the suicide bomber theory has not been confirmed by investigators, according to state-run TASS news agency.

Peskov said Russian President Vladimir Putin has been briefed on the preliminary results of the investigation.

President Trump called the attack "a terrible thing."

"Terrible. Terrible thing. Happening all over the world. Absolutely a terrible thing," he said.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer today condemned the St. Petersburg attack, saying, "Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured as we extend our deepest condolences to the loved ones."

"Attacks like these on ordinary citizens going about their lives remind us that the world must work as one to combat violence in all forms," Spicer said at a White House press briefing in Washington. "The United States is prepared to offer assistance to Russia and may require investigating this crime."

Mark Toner, acting spokesperson for the U.S. State Department, said in a statement, "The United States condemns today's reprehensible attack on passengers of the St. Petersburg metro system. We extend our deepest condolences to the loved ones of those who were killed, and our thoughts and prayers are with those injured in the attack and with the Russian people."

Putin, who is in St. Petersburg for a forum, spoke in front of cameras after the explosion, alongside the president of Belarus, Aleksander Lukashenko.

"The causes are not yet clear, and so it's still early to talk about that, the investigation will show," Putin said. "But, naturally, we always examine all versions, ordinary and criminal - above all, incidents of a terrorist character."

The entire St. Petersburg subway system, which serves some 2 million riders a day, was shut down and evacuated. The subway system has since resumed operations.

Three days of mourning will be observed in St. Petersburg beginning Tuesday, according to Russian officials.

Death toll rises to 254 as aid begins to arrive in disaster-struck Colombia

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Colombian officials said 20 tons of supplies arrived on Sunday.

— -- Colombian authorities scrambled to deliver aid and return basic services like electricity and water to the wreckage of Mocoa, a city of 40,000 people devastated by floodwaters and landslides on Friday.

Authorities rushed to take in critical supplies even as families and rescue workers scrambled through debris in search of victims and survivors.

The death toll rose to 273 on Monday, President Juan Manuel Santos announced at a press briefing this evening, even as some 1,300 search and rescue workers accompanied by trained dogs combed the area.

Me informan que desgraciadamente la cifra de muertos subió a 254. Nuestras oraciones están con ellos y sus familias #MocoaSomosTodos

- Juan Manuel Santos (@JuanManSantos) April 3, 2017

At least 43 children were among the victims, Colombia's national disaster agency, NGRC, said.

In a speech on Sunday, Santos said that heavy rain unleashed flooding and landslides of "unprecedented" force that swept away "whole neighborhoods" and destroyed the city's main electric plant and water supply.

Officials said electricity has been partly restored to the ravaged city and 20 tons of aid supplies have arrived, but many residents struggled to get clean water, creating a potentially serious health hazard for the survivors.

Santos announced the "immediate" start to work on a new aqueduct to deliver potable water to the city.

More than 500 people remained displaced on Sunday evening. At least 200 people sustained injuries in the disaster, which affected at least 300 families, according to officials.

"You shouldn't change the rules. You should change the nominee," said Schumer, who predicted on "Meet the Press" that Gorsuch will not receive the support of 60 senators.

"It's a big deal," said Norm Orenstein, scholar at the center-right American Enterprise Institute. "You have a situation where you have rules and you have norms of behavior. The rules provide some significant check, but you still gotta operate with norms."

And while both Republicans and Democrats are aware of the calamity of the impending outcome, they also recognize that damage might be beyond repair after years of increased partisanship.

Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona has been engaged in conversations with some of his Republican and Democratic colleagues to stave off the worst-case scenario, but those haven't yet led to true negotiations.

Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) is one of the Democratic senators McCain has spoken to, but Coons said there is "not a lot of common ground" to work with.

"There is not a lot of trust between Republicans and Democrats in the Senate," Coons told NBC News.

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Missouri who is up for re-election in 2018 in a state that Trump won, announced her opposition to Gorsuch on Friday, and said she'd go a step further and support a filibuster against him. She admitted in a Medium post that her decision could have deep political ramifications in the future.

"I remain very worried about our polarized politics and what the future will bring, since I'm certain we will have a Senate rule change that will usher in more extreme judges in the future." McCaskill wrote.

Democrats forced a rules change in 2013 after Senate Republicans blocked most of President Barack Obama's judicial nominees and several cabinet positions. The "nuclear option" imposed then reduced the threshold for passage from 60 votes to 51 votes for all cabinet and judicial positions other than the Supreme Court, allowing Obama's nominees to pass. It's a decision that Schumer has said he laments.

But McConnell's refusal to even consider President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland, not giving him a hearing or even holding meetings, inflamed tensions.

The Republican leader has cited election-year politics as the reason for that decision - and it is one that Democrats admit is playing into their considerations on Gorsuch, who would assume the seat that has sat vacant since Justice Antonin Scalia died more than a year ago.

"As I talk to Democrats, I think we are all outraged at how Merrick Garland was treated in the process and that got us to where we are today. As I talk to Republicans, they remind me of the 2013 changes in rules," Coons said. "And frankly there is a long list of back and forth, back and forth about we believe they badly mistreated Barack Obama's nominees and they believe that Barack Obama overreached and that we were oblivious or unconcerned about their issues to executive overreach."

St. Petersburg metro explosion: 10 dead in Russia blast

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The explosion tore through a train as it was traveling between two stations in Russia's second-largest city.

A second, larger device was found and defused at another station, Russia's Anti-Terrorism Committee said. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, which led to the shutdown of the city's metro system.

Alongside the dead, 51 people were injured in the incident, according to CNN affiliate RBC.

Four of the injured are in critical condition, Health Minister Veronika Skvortsova said from the Dzhanelidze Research Institute of Emergency Medicine, where many of the wounded are being treated, according to the state-run Tass news agency.

President Vladimir Putin, who had been in St. Petersburg earlier in the day, laid roses at a makeshift memorial with candles outside the bombed metro station.

US President Donald Trump spoke briefly with Putin on Monday, according to a senior administration official. Trump expressed his sympathies for the Russian people in the wake of the terror attack.

Train conductor may have saved lives

The blast occurred just after 2:30 p.m. (7:40 a.m. ET) as the train was traveling in a tunnel from Sennaya Ploshchad to Tekhnologichesky Institut stations in the city center. In the confusion, initial reports suggested there were two blasts.

Investigators are seizing items relative to the investigation, questioning witnesses and metro employees and working to confirm the number of dead and injured, Russia's Investigative Committee said in a statement.

The train conductor possibly saved lives, the committee said, because rather than stop the train after the blast, he continued on to the next station, which allowed passengers to evacuate and rescuers to tend to victims.

Photographs show the facade of one of the cars ripped off and passengers running from the Tekhnologichesky Institute station as it filled with smoke. Victims said they helped each other escape the train.

Bodies were seen strewn across a station platform outside the train. Rescuers carried bandaged and bloodied victims out of the station.

'We expected death'

Passengers described the horror in the aftermath of the blast.

"In the metro car, everyone expected death, if I can say that. After the explosion, everyone expected consequences. Then we were taken out, and people began to help each other, brought others out. Most were covered in blood," a passenger on the train told state-run TASS.

Another passenger at the Sennaya station, Stanislav Listyev, said he felt the explosion and saw smoke coming out of the tunnel.

"I was going down the escalator at Sennaya Square at about half past 2, and at that moment I felt an explosion wave underneath. Everything was filled with smoke, people started panicking. So the trains stopped and almost immediately the evacuation started," he told CNN.

People didn't have 'whole bodies'

Alexey Chirochkin was sitting on a bench in the subway station with his earphones on when he noticed a woman approaching him, he said. As he got up to give her his seat, the woman fell and he grabbed her.

Her face and hands were bloody, and she started crying when he asked if she needed an ambulance, he said.

"Then I take my earphones off, I look around (and I see that) the station is full of smoke," Chirochkin said. "People are running, panic (takes over). But there was no crowd. (People) did not jump over each other, did not push each other ... Some were jumping out of (the metro car's) windows."

"I saw a lot of injured people," he said. "People were crawling while bleeding. They had such a look in their eyes. A girl was yelling, 'Please help my guy!'"

Subway employees ordered people to leave the scene, he said.

Chirochkinrecalled helping a man pry open the jammed, bent train doors to pull a victim out of a car and lay him on the platform.

"It is possible that a person that I dragged out was dead," Chirochkin said. "He had a lot of blood on his jacket."

The scene inside the train cars horrified him.

"People there did not have whole bodies ... They were not asking for help. They were not moving," Chirochkin said. "Their eyes were glassy. They were bleeding out. Not a pleasant thing to see."

Investigation underway

A spokesman for the National Anti-Terrorism Committee said the blast was caused by an unidentified explosive device in one of the train's cars.

"So far, we say it was an unidentified explosive device as investigators and the Federal Security Service's bomb specialists are to establish the exact cause of this explosion," Andrei Przhezdomsky told state-run Russia 24.

A second device was found at another metro station -- Revolutionary Square -- and was disabled, the committee said in statement. That device, hidden in a fire extinguisher, was larger than the one that went off, according to state media reports quoting law enforcement. It carried about a kilogram of TNT, the reports said.

Authorities closed down the entire metro system, whose five lines carry 2.3 million people a day.

Putin statement

Putin offered his condolences to the victims and said he has been in contact with the security services about the investigation, according to state media.

"The reasons for the explosion are unknown, so it's too early to talk about it. The investigation will show what happened," Putin said, at the beginning of a meeting with Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko. "Naturally, we always consider all options -- both domestic and criminal, primarily incidents of a terrorist nature."

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin had been in St. Petersburg speaking at a media event.

Viktor Ozerov, chairman of the defense committee in the Federation Council, said that the choice of St. Petersburg as a target may have been tied to Putin's visit.

"The choice of the place and the timing of these blasts is not accidental. The president of Russia is in (St. Petersburg). The media forum is taking place there. There are many journalists," Ozerov said.

Medvedev said victims would be provided with "all necessary assistance." He said in a Facebook message: "My most sincere condolences to the families and friends of the victims of the explosion."

Russia was once a hotspot for terror attacks, but the country has experienced relatively few in recent years.

In December 2013, a suicide bombing at a train station in Volgograd killed at least 16 people. The following day, in the same city, a suicide bombing on a trolley bus killed 14 people.

In 2010, two female suicide bombers blew themselves up at two Moscow metro stations, killing 40. They were linked to the Chechen insurgency.

And in 2002, Chechen rebels killed 170 people in a theater hostage situation in the capital, Moscow.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story attributed the terrorism motive to the Russian prosecutor general. It was the city's prosecutor general.

Riley, 14, who saw want happened, knew he had to act.

"He flew down and I was like 'Oh my God, that's a really far drop. He hit a rock really hard. He then fell into the water," Riley John told InsideEdition.com. "I really don't know what I was thinking. I reacted as fast I could."

Riley jumped into the freezing water to grab hold of Mason and when they reached a pool of still water he handed the child off to his friend Seth Gerrin. Seth then ran Mason to the paramedics.

"Mason doesn't know how to swim. He said he tried to swim and it didn't work," Hemlock told InsideEdition.com. "They saved his life. He wouldn't be here today if it weren't for Riley. He put his life on the line for Mason."

The boy's disappeared before anyone got a chace to thank them, however.

That's when Hemlock wrote a Facebook post in a community group to try to find the heroes and Riley's grandmother responded.

Hemlock was able to meet Riley on Friday at a short ceremony Riley's high school had to honor his heroic acts.

"I was able to thank him and that gave me peace with situation," Hemlock said. ""I am incredibly grateful,"
