LA Police Chief: No Known Threats After East Coast Bombs

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Police Chief Charlie Beck says there are no known credible threats to security in Los Angeles after explosions rocked New York City and New Jersey, but residents should remain vigilant.

Beck said people should feel safe Sunday attending the first regular season home game of the Los Angeles Rams in 22 years and the annual Emmy Awards.

The Rams played the Seattle Seahawks at the Coliseum. The 68th prime-time Emmy Awards are also being held at the Microsoft Theater.

Beck says the department is constantly assessing security threat levels.

Officials in New York are trying to determine who was responsible for an explosion that injured 29 in the Chelsea neighborhood. New Jersey law enforcement was trying to determine if a pipe bomb that exploded at a seaside community was related to terrorism.
