There is an "incident" on the Boston University campus

Last edited Sat Nov 19, 2016, 11:41 AM - Edit history (1)

BU officials say they are dealing with "an emergency situation."

Police have responded but I have no clue what is going on beyond that.

UPDATE: Turned out to be a hoax call. They've got the feds investigating it (of course, the FBI is so corrupt who can trust them anymore...)

However, it might be a hoax....

Comm Ave is closed at the BU bridge. If you're in the city, avoid the area.
