Boston, Massachusetts - A deliberate explosion ripped through a building on the Harvard Medical School campus early Saturday morning, shattering the serene atmosphere of the prestigious institution. Fortunately, no one was injured in the blast, but two suspects are being hunted by police.
According to investigators, just before 3 a.m., an officer responded to a fire alarm activation at the Goldenson Building on Longwood Avenue. Upon arrival, officers spotted two individuals fleeing from the scene. Despite attempts to stop them, the suspects managed to escape, leaving behind only their images for authorities to scrutinize.
The latest images released by the Harvard University Police Department show two people with their faces obscured inside the building, sparking an urgent call for public assistance in identifying the suspects.
Police have been working tirelessly to unravel the circumstances surrounding the explosion. While the initial assessment suggests that the blast was deliberate, no additional devices were discovered during a thorough sweep of the building by officers from the Boston Police Department.
The FBI has also descended upon the scene, with a spokesperson stating that they will not comment further at this time, deferring all questions to the Harvard University Police Department. The local, state, and federal authorities are working in tandem to crack the case, with anyone possessing information being urged to come forward by contacting the detective bureau at (617) 495-1796.
Resident Joey Awad, who was awoken by a series of explosions, described the harrowing experience. "I felt it in my body," he said, his voice still shaken by the memory of the blast. "My heart was racing, and then I tried to fall asleep... only to be startled again five minutes later."
The Goldenson Building, constructed in 1906, is just one of several Harvard institutions surrounding the HMS Quad Lawn on the Boston campus. Authorities will undoubtedly scrutinize every possible angle in their pursuit of truth behind this explosive event.
For now, Boston remains gripped by unease as authorities work to identify the perpetrators and uncover the motives behind this deliberate act of destruction.

. I remember that whole thing with David Koresh in Waco, Texas - a building went up in flames too... Anyway, I'm glad nobody got hurt, but two people on the loose? That's not exactly reassuring 
. It's like they're trying to recreate the chaos of that Columbine High School shooting back in '99 
. The whole thing is just so... unpredictable 
. I hope the police catch these guys soon and bring some peace back to Harvard, you know?
I hope they catch 'em soon and figure out why they did this. The whole FBI thing is pretty weird, can't they just talk to people or somethin'? 
Anyway, just hope everyone stays safe in Boston and that justice gets served. 
. As someone who's lived through some crazy times, I gotta say, this explosion at Harvard feels like a wake-up call for our society 
. It's terrifying to think that people would intentionally harm others like that... it just doesn't compute 
. We should all be grateful that no one was hurt, but we also can't let our guard down yet 
.
. I hope the police and FBI do everything in their power to catch them ASAP 
. This whole ordeal is just too much for anyone to handle, but we'll get through it as a city 
.
. On one hand, it's heartening to know that no lives were lost in the blast, a testament to the swift response of emergency services and the resilience of the community 
. However, the deliberate nature of the explosion raises more questions than answers, leaving many to wonder about the motivations behind such an act 
.
. As the situation continues to unfold, one can't help but feel a sense of unease for the Boston campus, now gripped by an air of uncertainty 
️.
. it's always sad when someone gets caught up in a situation like this. and to think they were just trying to wake everyone up on a Saturday morning... did you catch the part where the building is 119 years old? 
guess that's what they were goin for: to be internet famous for lookin like idiots. and good luck tryin to identify them, btw 
the whole "help me" vibe is just a bit too much 
.
. My friend who lives near Harvard said they've seen cops everywhere since the explosion... I guess you can't be too careful when it comes to threats like this.
and his heart is still racing from the experience, no wonder! It's wild how they're trying to figure out what happened in there 
and I'm sure it'll be a long time before Boston gets back to normal 
.
. I mean, can you believe someone actually tried to blow up a building? 
It's just crazy! And no one was hurt, which is the good news, right? 
And all these suspects with their faces obscured... it's like a real-life game of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" 
.
. Fingers crossed that we'll catch those guys soon and get some answers 
And if anyone has any info, please do reach out to the authorities - every little bit helps 
. Those images they released are probably edited or something, who needs that level of scrutiny? And don't even get me started on the FBI showing up, just another excuse for them to mess with people's lives 
. I mean, think about it... if someone wanted to cause that kind of damage, they'd have done it by now, wouldn't they? The whole thing reeks of setup and I don't trust any of this 
.
and why is the FBI involved now? seems like a big deal to me... 
i feel bad 4 the guy who got scared awake 
his heart was racing nd he cldn't even sleep lol 
anywayz, lets hope thos 2 ppl get caught soon 
.
- maybe I can help the police out and share some info on socials
