that s annapolis right there. okay. that s annapolis. that will be the jeffrey building that we re looking at. i m getting more information right now to tell you about that site that you re looking at. i m looking at the site of the jeffrey building. it is the let me just look through this list. secretary of appointments is in that building, the secretary of state is in that building, the office of homeland security is in that building. that s what i can mostly make out. it is 16 francis street in annapolis, maryland, for those of you who know. annapolis is one of those state capitals that is it s an old colonial town that s very tightly woven. all of these streets are very close to the state capital. which is in that round-about that you can see on the top of the screen. i don t know annapolis well enough to know where the street actually is. 16 francis street.
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
different pieces of information. we have conflicting reports at about injuries in both places. so we don t know. in the case of the other location in annapolis, we heard reports that someone may have been injured in a mailroom in the state house, but we re learning that the explosion wasn t in the state house. it was across the road from the state house. i did receive a tweet from somebody whose dad works at the naval academy, the other big presence in annapolis, maryland, said they had heard no e explosion, no idea about the about the explosions. i m just reading through my information to see if there s anything else that we have about this these explosions. okay. so what we re looking at there is we re pushing in on google to hanover, maryland. the maryland department of transportation. they are officials there seems to be movement there. there seems to be some people on
were just showing you. this is the maryland department of transportation headquarters. that s the building on the right side. one went to that mailroom. the other one went to the jeffrey building, which is a bl block away from the state house in annapolis, maryland. there s the state house. you see the red dot, that s the jeffrey building. we are told that they were not big explosions. they were packages. we don t know what the packages are. both buildings have been evacuated. a source has told cnn that something happened. they detonated, flame was emitted. the source talking to cnn felt that it might be too strong to call them blasts. but we still have details coming in. one of the details is that annapolis, there may be one injury there as well. there do appear to be some injuries. let s go to jeanne meserve who is following this from washington. jeane, what do you know? explosion might be too strong a word to describe what happened
both state of maryland buildings. the department of transportation headquarters and a place where there are other senior maryland government officials. it is unclear what the motivation would be to target those two buildings. annapolis, about less than an hour s drive from washington, d.c. now you re looking at hanover there. and the the complex that houses the maryland department of transportation headquarters. so we have no information yet coming to us about what it is. now, let me tell you more okay. so we have been reporting, again, this is all very, very new information. we ve been reporting no injuries. there are conflicting reports now that a mailroom employee may have been injured. this is breaking news. we are working to clarify information as we go along. but this is this may have happened at the state house in annapolis. again, lots of conflicting nn i information. we first heard that it was at the state house, now we ve heard
