CNN Update below...
(Update, 5:31 p.m. ET) Boston police now appear to be backing away from their commissioner's earlier statement that a third incident at the JFK Library 5 miles from the finish line - might have been related to the Boston Marathon blasts.
On Twitter, Boston police say: "Update JFK incident appears to be fire related."

as a precaution in case there was some kind of crazy link...
Some Boston downtown colleges are in lockdown as well...
