LAYTON, Utah — A bomb squad was called out after a suspicious package was found inside a Layton hospital Thursday morning, but officials said there was no threat to patients or staff in the building.

Security at Layton Hospital originally found the package somewhere inside the facility, according to police, before it was moved outside by a bomb squad.

The Davis County Bomb Squad detonated the package out of precaution, but it's not known what was inside.

Intermountain Healthcare officials closed some of the clinics in the medical office building for the day, but the overall campus remains open to the public and operations have not been impacted.
