An unexpected occurrence took place at the campus of Boston’s Northeastern University, when a package exploded and left a staff member with minor injuries on Tuesday.
The accident happened just after 7 p.m., when the box delivered to Northeastern University’s Holmes Hall “detonated” after the staff member opened it.
Officers from the Boston Police Department responded to the incident at 7:18 p.m.
Authorities said in a public statement, “We discovered a 45-year old male suffering from minor injuries to his hand after we arrived at the campus.”
Although the staff member’s name is to remain anonymous, the university said the employee is being treated at a local hospital and that no students were injured in the explosion.
The package that detonated did not contain any explosives, but was pressurized to cause a detonation when opened.
Police found an anonymous note that reportedly made warnings about Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
On Wednesday, the Boston Police Department said, “There are no overnight developments in the investigation and there is no further information regarding the incident beyond Tuesday night’s press release.”
“We’re monitoring the situation at Northeastern and we’re ready to work with the university and our law enforcement partners on any prosecutions that may develop,” Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden told the Associated Press on Tuesday.
Hayden also promised a comprehensive investigation to determine exactly what occurred.
A representative for the school said, “Northeastern canceled evening classes in several buildings on its campus Tuesday. However, they expected the school to be open as usual Wednesday.
The FBI is assisting Boston police and other law enforcement agencies in the investigation. No arrests have been made in the investigation.
Also on Tuesday, a second suspicious package was also discovered across the street from the university near the city’s Museum of Fine Arts.
“The bomb squad was able to render the package safe without further incident,” authorities said in their statement. “It was determined that the second package was not related to the first. Instead, we classified it as an unrelated discarded object.”
Wait…what? “The accident happened just after 7 p.m., when the box delivered to Northeastern University’s Holmes Hall “detonated” after the staff member opened it.” A package “explodes” and they call it an “accident?” Notice the increase in crime, and now this…how about that open border and “defund the police,” ALL DUE TO DEMOCRAT POLICIES AND SUPPORT!!
