Harvard Medical School hit by intentional explosion, no injuries reported. Two individuals were seen fleeing the scene.
A mysterious blast ripped through Harvard Medical School early Saturday evening, leaving authorities to wonder if it was an accident or a deliberate act of sabotage. Fortunately, despite the intense nature of the incident, no one was injured in the explosion.
According to university police, an officer who responded to a fire alarm attempt to apprehend two individuals fleeing the scene - only to be thwarted when they ran towards the area where the alert originated. Further investigation by the Boston Fire Department has concluded that the explosion was indeed intentional and there were no other devices discovered during a thorough search of the Goldenson Building.
Two suspects with their faces partially obscured can be seen in grainy photos released by police, wearing sweatshirts and face coverings. Their identities remain unknown at this time.
Harvard Medical School's response to the incident has been widely praised as swift and effective in minimizing harm. While officials are still working to determine the motives behind the explosion, authorities have assured that they will take all necessary measures to ensure public safety moving forward.

, can you believe what just happened at Harvard Medical School?! I mean, I'm glad no one got hurt, but intentional explosion? That's wild 
. I'm not sure if it was an accident or a deliberate act of sabotage, but the fact that the explosion was indeed intentional is pretty concerning 
.
. They definitely prevented what could've been a disaster from happening.
, but I'm sure the authorities will get to the bottom of it soon 
. Fingers crossed they catch the perps and bring them to justice ASAP 
.
. I mean, can't these people think about the consequences of their actions? Like, what's the point of causing chaos and destruction for no reason? Did they really think they could just walk in, blow something up, and then run away like it was nothing? 
. And those suspects... partial face coverings and sweatshirts... sounds like they got straight out of a bad spy movie 
. Anyway, at least the medical school is okay, but this just shows that even in a place where you'd expect safety and security, stuff can still go wrong 
.
! An intentional explosion at Harvard Medical School? It's crazy to think about what could've happened if people got hurt 
. I hope the police can catch them soon and figure out why someone would try to sabotage a place that's all about helping people 
. This whole thing is super suspicious, but I'm sure the authorities will get to the bottom of it 
!
man... like what is going on these days?! Harvard Medical School gets blown up intentionally and no one gets hurt! 
hope they catch those 2 suspects soon 
are they trying to make some kinda statement or just cause some trouble? it's like, what even motivates someone to do that? 
makes me think of all those movies where you gotta defuse bombs and stuff... hope whoever did this gets caught ASAP 
can't imagine what kinda person would do such a thing tho, hope they catch the culprits ASAP these suspects in the pics look like total weirdos lol, idk about u but i'm low-key worried that this might be some kinda sicko threat against the medical school or maybe someone trying 2 cause a scene 
. I don't know what to make of the two suspects, it's weird they're wearing face coverings but their faces aren't fully hidden...is that some kinda disguise?
