The FBI and multiple state agencies are investigating after dozens of Kansas lawmakers and officials reported receiving letters containing a suspicious white powder.
KBI is working with the FBI and other state agencies, along with local police departments and sheriff's offices to collect the letters and investigate the incidents, authorities said.
Reached for comment, KBI communications director Melissa Underwood declined to answer detailed questions about the investigation, saying,"our focus must be on safely collecting and testing the evidence." Carrie Rahlfeldt, the communications director for the Kansas Speaker of the House, told local news station KMBC that several members of the Republican caucus received letters containing the suspicious powder."We're using our finest resources and it's being squandered because someone - or a group of people - are very deliberately trying to make a point," Baumgardner said."Kansas Legislators that are Republican are being targeted. There appears to be some message.
