Officials evacuated some neighboring homes in Simi Valley as a precaution after the call came in around 7 p.m. Thursday.
Police Commander Steve Shorts says the homeowner found the woman on the ground with traumatic injuries and a “note or a sign” suggesting the presence of a bomb.
Shorts didn’t immediately have additional details. He says the investigation is ongoing.
