Boston police are investigating a package that detonated at Northeastern University Tuesday evening, leaving at least one person injured and the FBI has been made aware.
A department spokesperson told Fox News that officers responded to 39 Leon St. around 7:16 p.m. for a report of a "potential package that had detonated."
Northeastern University said a package delivered to Holmes Hall on Northeastern's Boston campus detonated when a staff member opened it.
"The staff member sustained minor injuries and is being treated," a university spokesperson said. "The building has been evacuated and a notification was sent to the Boston campus at 7:55 pm urging people to avoid the area. We will update members of the Northeastern community when more information is available."
A bomb squad unit, Boston EMS, and Boston Fire were also on scene. Boston EMS said the patient was transported by BLS ambulance to an area hospital.
