One person was taken to the hospital Tuesday evening after a package delivered to a building at Northeastern University exploded when it was opened, school officials confirmed.

A second package was also found and rendered safe by the bomb squad, Boston police confirmed at a news conference Tuesday night.

Northeastern University said the package was delivered to Holmes Hall on Leon Street around 7 p.m. and detonated when a staff member opened it. That person, a 45-year-old man, suffered minor hand injuries and was taken to the hospital.

The Boston Bomb Squad, Boston police, Boston fire and Boston EMS all responded and the building was evacuated. An FBI spokesperson said they were assisting the investigation.

1. Enough is enough, arrest that @Libsoftiktok POS and ban her from all social media. NOW.

Tomorrow may be too late!

3. I'm out of the loop - what did that POS have to do with this?

I read online that the women's studies department was targeted. This sounds like Unabomber type of stuff.

5. That account has been accusing hospitals of performing castration experiments on children.

And it has been accusing those two particular hospitals, and her followers have been acting on it. It's stochastic terrorism at its' finest.

6. More like incel terrorist

Targeting women studies?

2. Reeks of Republican Dirty Tricks.

Not certain but … domestic terrorism is a Republican thing.

4. Arrest that person now

I cannot believe I've been chastised for calling that person that runs libsoftiktok a bitch. Well look what the fuck it's gotten us. Domestic fucking terrorism.

7. She's a terrorist and has been using social media to incite violence.

Time for all her accounts to be permanently suspended.

[vercetti2021]

8. Time to charge her ass instead

FBI needs to get on the ball

[Initech]

9. Agreed!

[reACTIONary]

10. For what? What actual law did she, ...

... as opposed to whoever planted the bomb, break?

The hospital could sue her for defamation. I think that would be the only legal remedy.
