Pipe bomb found at Pierce College

A pipe bomb was found Monday afternoon near a pond on the Pierce College campus in Woodland Hills, authorities said.



A man turned the bomb in to the campus sheriff’s station about 2:30 p.m., saying he had found the device, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said.



The campus was closed for the Presidents Day holiday as bomb squad investigators searched the area for additional explosives. None were found, the department said.



Detectives said the pipe bomb was live but did not appear to be connected to a threat against a specific person.
