Unattended Baggage Causes LA Courthouse Evacuation

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― A federal courthouse in downtown Los Angeles was evacuated for about 90 minutes because of a suspicious bag, but it turned out to only contain clothes.

The travel bag was found outside the courthouse about 7:45 a.m. and a police bomb squad was called.

Officer Sara Faden said it turned out to simply be unattended baggage and there was no explosive device or threat.
