Multiple incidents occurred near Northeastern University

Just days ago, Northeastern University officials assured students, faculty and staff that there was no ongoing threat to campus safety following two violent incidents near the Boston campus.

“Our campus is safe at this time,” Northeastern University Police Chief Ruben Galindo told Northeastern Global News. “There is no threat or concern.”

Both incidents were stabbings and unrelated to each other. Authorities described it as a “random act of violence” and stressed there was no evidence the university or its community was specifically targeted.

University police are continuing to work closely with local authorities as the investigation unfolds. “We have been in constant contact with the Boston Police Department to provide information, including camera footage, to aid in the investigation and arrest of the suspect,” Galindo said.

In response, Northeast Airlines also strengthened its security deployment. “We also have 24/7 police patrols on campus and have increased patrols since last Friday to increase visibility and deterrence,” he said.
