Unfolding right now. I will update as soon as possible. Gunshots were heard and Building 32 (I believe I heard that correctly -- I apologize as I do not know the campus at all) is surrounded by police.
I am sorry this is a reference to Faux -- the husband was skipping through channels and we saw the "breaking news" banner. Apparently the building is surrounded by police, gunshots have been heard, and MIT is close to the location of the bombing. It is unclear if this is connected. I will check other news sources for updates so we can discuss...
