The FBI is investigating an “intentional” explosion that occurred early Saturday inside a building on Harvard University’s Longwood medical school campus.
According to Harvard officials, just after 2:45 a.m., a Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) officer was dispatched to the Goldenson building at 220 Longwood Avenue in Boston following a fire alarm activation. Upon arrival, the officer observed two individuals fleeing the building.
The officer attempted to stop the pair before proceeding to the fourth floor, where the alarm had been triggered. There, the officer discovered that an explosion had taken place.
The Boston Fire Department Arson Unit responded to the scene and conducted an initial assessment, determining that the explosion appeared to be intentional. Meanwhile, the Boston Police Department performed a thorough sweep of the building to check for any additional devices but found none.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported in connection to the incident.
A university spokesperson told Fox News Digital, “The Harvard University Police Department is actively investigating this incident in coordination with local, state, and federal law enforcement partners.”
FBI Boston confirmed to Fox News Digital that agents are on site assisting HUPD but referred any further inquiries to university police.
Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
