annapolis just yet. we have live pictures from hanover. that is the building right there, the maryland department of transportation headquarters on the right side of your screen. one of the two buildings in which a package has detonated. what we are hearing from government officials and through our cnn d.c. radio affiliate, wtop, is that there were blasts at both builds, but that no one was injured in either of the blasts. we re still trying to determine what exploded, what type of blasts they were, how big and how damaging they were. what we do understand is that nobody was injured in either of those those explosions. now, here is a picture. this is not these are not live tv pictures. we re looking at google earth here. these are pictures of annapolis. you see the state house right in the center there. all of those streets that go off of this. this explosion was at a building that is across the road from the state house. again, jim was just helping me out by letting me know where
so obviously in a case like this, there is going to be conflicti ining information, bu we re trying to get as much new and accurate information as possible. if you have information and you want to tweet me @alivelshi if you re near there. let me know what you re hearing or what you ve heard on local media outlets. so i ll update you with what we know now. you re looking at a picture of hanov hanover, maryland. this is coming to us from wbal. and it is and the parking area, the road basically, outside of the maryland department of transportation where apparently there was an explosion. we do not know what what exploded. we had heard initially that there were no injuries at all. we are hearing conflicting reports because that s what happens when things happen. various news organizations get
we ve got our affiliate, wtop, providing most of the reporting on this. again, the building in annapolis was the jeffrey building on francis street for those of you who know annapolis, maryland. the one we re looking at now, however, is in hanover, maryland. that is the most information i ve got right now. let me tell you more about this. the building in annapolis, the jeffrey building, is the state house office building. the one in hanover is a department of transportation headquarters. for the maryland department of transportation. we are getting this information via the affiliate wbal. apparently this is attributed to the annapolis mayor telling us that the jeffrey building that an explosion occurred in in annapolis, maryland, is the state house office building. all right. i m now getting information my executive producer is telling me that that is not necessarily

with these two packages. however, they did ignite. these devices went off. we re told that flames were emitted. one individual was trying to deal with one of the packages and did at least one person sustained injuries. those were burns to their hands. this is a maryland incident. the maryland state police are taking the lead. the fbi is also responding. the department of homeland security says it is aware. it s closely monitoring reports, but at this point, this is a maryland state incident at this point. these two devices, the only ones we ve heard about so far, ali. okay. stand by. let s bring fran townsend in, joining us from new york. fran, what i haven t told our viewers is that the jeffrey building, the one in annapolis, housed homeland security and it housed the secretary of state. the other building was the in hanover, maryland, was the
