Harvard University Police Department Community Advisory

July 5, 2014

Recently, the Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) received a call from an unidentified male who claimed to be on campus and armed and that he had placed bombs at several buildings on Harvard's campus.  HUPD officers immediately responded to the locations he identified but could not locate an individual.  The named buildings -- including the Science Center -- were immediately evacuated.  Cambridge Police Department and Cambridge Fire Department were notified and, with HUPD, are in the process of examining the named buildings.  We will update the Harvard community as additional information becomes available.
