Two Massachusetts men arrested after explosion at Harvard Medical School, says FBI

Logan David Patterson and Dominick Frank Cardoza face charges of conspiracy to damage by means of fire or an explosive, according to the charging document. Patterson, 18 and from Plymouth, and 20-year-old Cardoza from Bourne were arrested on Tuesday morning and due to be arraigned in federal court later in the day.

The explosion occurred early on Saturday on the fourth floor of Harvard Medical School’s Goldenson Building, which houses labs and offices associated with the school’s neurobiology department. No one was injured.

“Anxiety levels naturally rise when the public learns that an explosion was intentionally caused,” US attorney Leah B Foley said at a news conference, noting that the investigation is ongoing, but that there’s no further threat to the university.

According to the charging document, witnesses said the men were visiting Wentworth College for Halloween activities, including parties at area schools. On the day of the blast, surveillance footage captured the two walking toward Harvard’s medical school. Witnesses said the pair chose the building because it looked abandoned and got into it through the roof, the charging document states.

Witnesses said the pair lit a Roman candle firework outside of the building and placed a cherry bomb inside of a locker in the building that then exploded, according to the charging document.
