UPDATE!!
False alarm.
An LAPD bomb squad responded to a home in Leimert Park after a person reported receiving a envelope from the Austin area from an unknown sender.
Police were able to examine the envelope and determine it was not a threat.
Still the incident was a reminder of the nation’s jittery nerves following a series of deadly package bombs in Austin.
Police responded to the 4200 block of Bronson Avenue around 6:22 p.m. after receiving a report about a small FedEx package on a home’s front porch.
The person who called police was concerned because it originated from an unknown sender in Austin.
Jittery is right.
