The FBI has joined Boston police and fire officials in investigating an apparent “intentional” explosion that occurred early Saturday at Harvard Medical School in Boston, authorities said. No injuries were reported, according to USA Today.
“The FBI is on the scene and we’re assisting our partners at the Harvard University Police Department with what is a very active investigation,” Boston FBI spokesperson Kristen Setera told USA Today. Boston police conducted a sweep of the Goldenson Building to check for additional devices but found none, according to authorities.
The blast took place around 2:48 am on the fourth floor of the Goldenson Building on the Harvard Medical School campus, the Harvard University Police Department said in a statement. The Boston Fire Department’s Arson Unit determined that the explosion “appeared to be intentional,” according to officials, as reported by USA Today.
A university police officer who responded to a fire alarm saw two unidentified individuals fleeing the building before going to the floor where the alert had been triggered, police said. The officer attempted to stop them but they escaped.
Police release images of suspects
Harvard University Police released grainy surveillance images showing two people wearing face coverings and sweatshirts near the time of the incident.
Police have urged anyone with information to contact the Harvard University Police Department’s Detective Bureau.
The investigation remains ongoing.
