Officials: Report Of Baby Kidnapping From Hospital Just A Drill

BOSTON (CBS) - When the call came in that a baby had been kidnapped at a local hospital, police rushed to the scene only to find it was just a drill.

Federal law says Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is required to run drills like this every six months.

Normally, the police are notified ahead of time.
