WEST HARTFORD, Conn. -- Police are at the scene of a explosion on the Yale campus.

Authorities said the incident occurred in a mailroom in a building on Wall Street.

Police said the building, which is part of the Yale School Of Law, is not on fire, but the floor might have partially collapsed. Authorities said the explosion caused heavy damage.


Witnesses said they heard a boom and saw debris flying. One law school student said she was in the student lounge when she heard the explosion, and she saw one wall of the alumni lounge collapse. Another student said classroom doors have been blown out.

James Foye, a spokesman for Mayor John DeStefano, said he had no information about injuries. A fire department dispatcher said crews were on the scene but had no details.

The incident came as the nation was on elevated alert for possible terrorist attacks and several hours after President George W. Bush -- a Yale alumnus -- visited the state to speak at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy graduation ceremony in New London.

A spokeswoman for the FBI in New Haven said members of the agency's Joint Terrorism Task Force were dispatched to the scene.
