A suspicious package that turned out to contain horse manure sparked a bomb scare near the Los Angeles home of US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, reports say.
The gift-wrapped manure was found at 19:40 (03:40 GMT) at the home next to Mr Mnuchin's in Bel-Air, police said.
Police cleared the package an hour later and the Secret Service is investigating, CBS said.

There were a lot of frustrated neighbors. Including Zsa Zsa Gabor's widower.
"We have $50 million homes and we can't move, we can't get out," Prince Frederick von Anhalt, who was trapped for two hours, said. "That's bad, they have to find another way."

Nobody knew at that time that no shooter had escaped the mall either, so maybe shut down the whole city?
Oh, a shooter could be in a house. Raid every house, in theoretical hot pursuit so no need for a warrant. Do no-knock SWAT raids with flash-bang grenades -- we don't want the police to phone it in.
Oh, there is an interstate highway. A shooter could have gotten to it. Shut down I-95 for a hundred miles each direction.
Oh, there is an airport. Shut down airspace within 300 miles.
Oh, there is a beach. Shut down shipping off the coast of Florida.
Nobody moves!!! Search everybody!!! Do CAT scans and DNA testing!!!
