BOSTON, April 17 (Reuters) - Security officials on Wednesday ordered staff, media and attorneys to evacuate Boston's federal courthouse, according to a Reuters reporter on the scene.

Scores of people could be seen leaving the building. No further details were immediately available.

"Get away from the building. I can't stress this enough, people," a uniformed law enforcement official yelled at the crowd. (Reporting by Tim McLaughlin, writing by Scott Malone, editing by Gary Crosse and Steve Orlofsky)
