Explosion at Harvard Medical School: Authorities Rule Out Accidental Cause, Suspects Still At Large.
A blast ripped through the Goldenson Building at Harvard Medical School early Saturday evening, leaving no one injured but sparking a frantic search for two suspects. The explosion was deemed intentional by authorities, who also found that it did not appear to be accidental in nature.
According to reports, a university police officer responded to a fire alarm and attempted to apprehend the unidentified individuals fleeing the scene before they triggered an additional alert that set off the blast. A thorough sweep of the building revealed no additional explosive devices.
The Boston Fire Department determined that the explosion was premeditated and officers did not find any other devices during their investigation. Investigators released grainy photos of two individuals wearing face coverings and what appeared to be sweatshirts, which may help identify them.
The incident remains under investigation by authorities as they continue to search for any potential suspects.
