Kansas lawmakers targeted with letters containing suspicious white powder

Federal and state law enforcement and health officials are investigating letters containing suspicious white powder that were sent to legislators and state agencies. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation confirmed a multi-agency response Friday after more than 30 of the letters were reported across the state. No injuries have been reported in connection with the letters, the agency said. The Kansas City Star and Topeka Capital-Journal reported that Republicans in the Kansas House and Senate had received the letters. Spokeswomen for the House and Senate Democrats told Kansas Reflector they weren’t aware of any Democrats who had received a letter.
