The Boston Police Department is now calling an incident at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum “fire related.” 

Cheryl Fiandaca, the public information bureau chief with the Boston Police Department, wrote Monday evening on Twitter that “[the] JFK incident appears to be fire related.” Earlier in the day, a spokesperson for the Boston Police Department told TPM that an explosive device had gone off at the library. No injuries were reported.

Reached by phone after the tweet was posted, a spokesperson with the Boston Police Department said she could not provide more context about Fiandaca’s tweet, but told TPM that further information would be put out later in the evening.
