On Friday, it was revealed that several Kansas Lawmakers had been mailed ‘suspicious’ white powder. This revelation came after an open investigation was made public, which was accompanied by a few paragraphs that detailed the situation.

The letter reads, “Letters containing suspicious white powder being investigated across Kansas

TOPEKA – The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI), The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), The Office of the State Fire Marshal, The Kansas Highway Patrol (KHP), and several local police departments and fire departments have responded today after mail was received by legislators and other public officials containing a suspicious white powder

As of 4.P.M Friday afternoon, over 30 letters containing a suspicious white powder have been reported across the state. Law enforcement is working to safely collect all the letters and investigate the incidents. Currently, no injuries have been reported, but we ask everyone to remain vigilant in handling mail. Any similar incidents should be reported to the KBI at 1-800-KSCRIME. The investigation is ongoing.”

Since then, locals have speculated that it could be a local with a grudge, or some kind of rogue prankster. Obviously though, it doesn’t matter what political side you’re on – as this kind of behavior is unacceptable and can cause serious mental distress to those on the receiving end of it. Hopefully, this is sorted out quickly and no one is hurt.
