Bomb threats at a Los Angeles hotel and church turned out to be duds. Sheriff’s deputies evacuated a six-block stretch of Sunset Boulevard after a bomb threat was phoned in to the Hyatt House at 8401 Sunset Blvd. But deputies found only a 14-inch-long envelope with wires coming out of it that turned out to be harmless. In a separate incident, worshipers were temporarily evacuated from a church service by an off-duty police officer who saw two men leave a briefcase and run from the building, police said.
