One person is injured after a package explosion at Northeastern University: the FBI is investigating.

One individual was taken to the hospital.

Northeastern University was evacuated Tuesday night after police reported a "possible package that detonated," wounding one person, while the FBI joined the investigation.

According to Boston EMS, the individual was taken to the hospital. According to the Boston Herald, the FBI has entered the probe and is "coordinating with Boston police."

For the alleged explosion, first responders descended on Leon Street on Northeastern's campus.

At 7:56 p.m. Tuesday, Boston EMS tweeted, "Active Incident: Multiple #BEMS units rushed to Leon St. in Boston for a reported explosion."

"One patient was treated and taken to a local hospital by BLS ambulance," Boston EMS reported. "At this time, no more information is available."

The Bomb Squad of the Boston Police Department and the Boston Fire Department were also on the site.

"Emergency services responding to an incident at Holmes Hall," Northeastern University Police tweeted. Please avoid the area while the inquiry is underway."

Police on the location verified the claims of an explosion, and a Northeastern staffer said night courses and several dorms were being evacuated, as students posted on social media.

Harvard University in Cambridge, across the Charles River, reports that they are "engaging with law enforcement and boosting patrols" on campus.

"We advise neighborhood members to report anything suspect out of an abundance of caution," Harvard stated.
