CBS reporter said a policeman came up to her and said they located a bomb and that she will hear another explosion. So Im guessing a bomb squad found it, and detonated it themselves.

Suspicious package found under the bleachers and they werent going to take any chances and detonated it themselves.

Thoughts are with you! My sister lives out there! She has been keeping me updated. Whats going on with the JFK library? Is it another explosion or was that the bomb squad one?

Stay safe all!

3 dead at least 30 injured.

edit: according to cnn

edit#2: seems like 2 dead and 23 is more accurate.

Yeah especially if it was a terrorist attack.

With the gates at TD scheduled to open in 2 hours, I don't think they'll have time to find out for sure either way - can't see the game taking place, no way 2-3 hours is enough time to clear TD gardens of any explosives that may be there.

Prayers are going out to you guys.

Even if it were unclear, they should still take the precautionary measures.
