Authorities in Boston are investigating the motive behind a package sent to Northeastern University that exploded when a staff member opened it, officials said.
The 45-year-old man who opened the package suffered minor hand injuries, according to university and law enforcement officials. Investigators have not said how the package arrived onto the campus, stressing the investigation is ongoing. The package contained a rambling note that criticized Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and the relationship between academic institutions and the developers of virtual reality, several federal law enforcement sources told CNN.
when the police were called to the scene, Boston Police Superintendent Felipe Colon said during a news conference Tuesday night. About a minute after the initial call, a Northeastern University police officer arrived at Homes Hall, said Michael Davis, chief of the university police department. University police announced the scene was “contained” just before 10 p.m. “It’s very important to note, our campus is secure,” Davis said during the news conference.
