The Boston Police (BPD) have launched an investigation into an exploding package that was sent to Northeastern University on Tuesday night.
In a press release, the police said two packages were sent to the university. One package exploded on the campus, resulting in minor injuries to the hand of a 45-year-old man at the scene — a worker at the university, according to the university. The other package was taken care of by the Boston Police Bomb Squad without incident, police said.
CNN and CBS News reported that the package included a note that criticized Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, as well as the relationship between academics and the advancement of virtual reality. CNN cited several federal law enforcement sources and CBS cited a person familiar with the matter.
The Boston Police declined to comment on the nature of the packages as the investigation is ongoing. A spokesperson for Facebook’s parent company, Meta, did not respond to a request for comment from Insider ahead of publication.
