Investigation underway after multiple Kansas officials receive letters with suspicious white powder

Law enforcement and health officials are investigating letters containing suspicious white powder that were sent to legislators and state agencies in Kansas. Over 30 letters were reported across the state, with Republicans in the Kansas House and Senate being the primary targets. No injuries have been reported, and the letters have a return address of Topeka or Kansas City. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is working with the FBI, Kansas Department of Health and Environment, Office of the State Fire Marshal, Kansas Highway Patrol, and several local police and fire departments in a multi-agency response.
