LAPD station evacuates after military ordnances dropped off
A couple brought military explosive devices into a Los Angeles Police Department station Saturday afternoon in an attempt to dispose of them, spurring officials to temporarily evacuate the Pacoima station and nearby homes. The incident came less than two weeks after an explosion killed three Los Angeles County sheriff's detectives -- the deadliest incident for the Sheriff's Department in more than 150 years. The three agency veterans who were killed were Dets. On Saturday, according to the LAPD, two people came into the Pacoima station at 2:30 p.m. and said they had been cleaning out the home of a family member who recently died when they found what they believed were explosives. The department's bomb squad used a robot to take images of the plastic box the couple had brought, which had "several military ordnances inside."
