Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor PASADENA - Bomb squad techs were called to the Pasadena Rose Bowl Sunday after a police K9 smelled something inside a passenger vehicle entering the venue. The Sheriff’s Arson/Explosives Detail was called out of an abundance of caution, examined the content of the vehicle and found nothing suspicious, according to Lt. Sean Dawkins of the Pasadena Police Department. Vendors were entering the Rose Bowl, 1001 Rose Bowl Dr., when the police K9 was set off by a vehicle from one of the vendors arriving to set up for the upcoming game roughly around 3 p.m., Dawkins said. Law enforcement was already showing a strong presence at the Rose Bowl, screening every vehicle that enters as part of the security process ahead of the big game, Dawkins said. “Once the alert happened, it was isolated, it was contained and based on the alert from the K9, the LASD bomb squad was asked to respond to the location,” Dawkins told SGV CityWatch, adding that a wide perimeter was set up as a precaution.
Dawkins was unsure what exactly inside the vehicle caught the attention of the K9. None of the events taking place south of the Rose Bowl were affected, Dawkins said. The scene was determined safe around 5:15 p.m. Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor PASADENA - Detectives with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau are trying to learn why a man found dead of an apparent gunshot wound was clad in a ballistic bullet proof vest and carrying a rifle.
