Christie To Mass. Gov: ‘We Are Here To Help’

Gov. Chris Christie says he has offered Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick any help New Jersey can provide in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings.

He said Tuesday he spoke briefly with Patrick just to say, "We are here to help."

The governor says that in a post-9/11 world, all citizens need to be vigilant and shouldn't be shy about contacting police if they see something unusual.

Says Christie: "You can't ever have enough police, enough agents to patrol a state as big as this state, or a country as big as this country."
