NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The FBI is assisting in a search for multiple masked suspects after an “intentional” explosion inside a building on Harvard University’s Longwood Medical School campus early Saturday.
Harvard officials told Fox News Digital that, just after 2:45 a.m., a Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) officer was dispatched to the Goldenson building at 220 Longwood Avenue in Boston for a fire alarm activation.
When the officer arrived, two people fled the building, officials said.

The officer tried to stop the pair before proceeding to the fourth floor, where the alarm was triggered, finding an explosion had occurred.
HUPD later released photos from surveillance footage of two people wearing masks and head coverings, seeking the public’s help in identifying them.
The Boston Fire Department Arson Unit responded and made an initial assessment that the explosion appeared to be intentional, officials said, and they believe a single device to be involved.
The Boston Police Department conducted a sweep of the building to check for any additional devices, and none were found.

1 escaped wildcat returned to Pennsylvania wildlife center as search for remaining 2 ramps up
One of three wildcats that escaped from a wildlife center in Berks County, Pennsylvania, earlier this week has been safely returned.
The Cricket Wildlife Center announced in a Facebook post that one of the African Servals, which escaped Wednesday, is now back at the center. The other two African Servals, have been spotted between Huffs Church, Bitting, and Delong roads and appear to be staying close together.
The center also said the Berks County Emergency Services Special Operations Group is assisting in the search for the wildcats using thermal drones. The Mighty Pawz Humane Society, is also helping the wildlife center repair the enclosures.
The wildcats’ enclosures were damaged during Wednesday night’s windstorm, which toppled a tree onto their pen and allowed them to escape.
According to a post on social media, the three wildcats are the wildlife center’s last three from its time doing cat rescues.
The wildlife center says the wildcats are old and are not a danger to humans or pets.
“Please do not harm them,” the wildlife center wrote on Facebook.
The wildlife center is asking anyone in the Alburtis or Berks County area who spots the animals to call them at 717-381-9893.
RIFC opens Centreville Bank Stadium, May 3, 2025
RIFC opens Centreville Bank Stadium in Pawtucket on May 3, 2025. Rhode Island and San Antonio FC played to a 0-0 final.
Rhode Island FC is moving on in the USL Championship playoffs.
Albert Dikwa found the net twice late in Saturday’s match at North Carolina FC to lift the Ocean State club to a 2-0 victory at First Horizon Stadium at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C. The victory means, for the second straight season, RIFC will be playing in the Eastern Conference Final with a chance to play for the league title.
North Carolina has had RIFC’s number in the previous two meetings at First Horizon Soccer Stadium, earning shutout wins in both matches. That changed on Friday night, thanks to Dikwa’s goals.
The first score, in the 81st minute, came on a header from the left side of the six-yard box that found the bottom left corner. Noah Fuson got the assist. The second score came in the 90th minute when Dikwa’s right-footed blast from more than 35 yards out found the bottom right corner of the net, following a fast break.
With the win, Rhode Island will advance to the conference final set for next week (Date/time TBD), against the winner of Saturday’s semifinal matchup between Detroit FC and the Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC.
Earlier this week, news broke that North Carolina FC will not field a team in the UFL Championship next season. First reported by The Athletic, North Carolina’s players were informed of the news as the club prepared for their playoff game against Rhode Island. All players under contract will be released after the season and can sign elsewhere. Those with guaranteed deals will receive about two months’ salary, per the report.
The No. 18 Boston College Eagles (4-4-1, 2-2-0 HE) men’s hockey team earned its first sweep of the season after defeating the Vermont Catamounts (3-5, 1-3 HE) in the series finale 5-0 on Saturday night.
Like in the series opener, Boston College struck first early in the first period with a power-play goal from forward Will Vote at 6:11, his second of the season, with help from defenseman Lukas Gustafsson and forward Teddy Stiga.
Unlike the first game, however, the scores kept coming for the Eagles.
A little over a minute after the first goal, forward Jake Sondreal knocked one into the back of the net to extend Boston College’s lead 2-0 at 7:17. Sondreal’s goal was assisted by defensemen Drew Fortescue and Luka Radivojevic.
After going into the first intermission with a two-score advantage, the Eagles doubled their lead 4-0 in the middle frame.
The first score of the period came at 11:58 by defenseman Nolan Joyce, the first of the junior’s career. Stiga and Vote each tallied an assist.
The second of the frame was at the 18:21 mark by Gustafsson which was his first score of the season, assisted by forward James Hagens and Radivojevic.
Boston College added one final goal to the scoreboard in the third with a score from forward Brady Berard, his second of the season, at 12:54 to ice the 5-0 victory.
Eagles freshman goalie Louka Cloutier notched 21 saves and was credited with his first collegiate shutout.
Next up, Boston College plays a home-and-home series with the UMass Minutemen on Friday and Saturday night. The game on Friday night at Conte Forum in Chestnut Hill, Mass., will be at 7 p.m. ET on NESN and the game on Saturday night at Mullins Center in Amherst, Mass., will be at 7 p.m. on ESPN+.
