A chilling scene unfolded at Harvard Medical School early Saturday morning as authorities investigate an intentional explosion within one of its buildings. The incident, occurring just after 2:45 am, has drawn the attention of the FBI, signaling the seriousness of the situation.
A Harvard University Police officer responded to a fire alarm at the Goldenson building on Longwood Avenue. Upon arrival, the officer immediately observed two individuals fleeing the scene, initiating a pursuit that quickly proved unsuccessful.
The officer discovered the source of the alarm on the fourth floor: evidence of a deliberate explosion. Initial assessments by the Boston Fire Department’s Arson Unit strongly suggest the blast was not accidental, but a calculated act.
A comprehensive sweep of the building by the Boston Police Department followed, meticulously searching for any additional explosive devices. Thankfully, no further threats were discovered, and preliminary reports indicate no injuries resulted from the blast.
The identities of the masked suspects remain unknown. Investigators have released images of the individuals, hoping the public can provide crucial information to aid in their apprehension and bring clarity to this unsettling event.
The investigation is ongoing, with authorities working diligently to piece together the events leading up to the explosion and determine the motives behind this brazen act on the prestigious medical campus.
