Shortly after 1 p.m. today, the Los Angeles Police Department bomb squad detonated an explosive device outside the Midvale Plaza apartment building on the 500 block of Midvale Avenue after residents said they heard a small explosion earlier in the day.


After responding to a call made at 11:13 a.m., the bomb squad arrived at 527 Midvale Ave. to find "an improvised explosive device" in the building's open-air courtyard, said Grace Brady, a spokeswoman for the LAPD. Authorities did not give additional details about the device.

Earlier this morning, several residents of the apartment building heard a small explosion, but most said they went back to sleep, and the police were not called until several hours later when a resident found an explosive device.

A cluster of police cars, FBI vehicles, ambulances, fire trucks and parking enforcement vehicles restricted access to the block while the bomb squad inspected and detonated the device remotely. Though nearby buildings were not evacuated, LAPD officers also restricted pedestrian traffic near the apartment building until after the bomb squad had detonated the explosive.
