The Arizona Republic is reporting that the Executive Tower at the Arizona Capitol was on lockdown earlier today after police found a letter containing a “white powdery substance” was found.
An employee of the governor’s constituency services office reportedly opened the letter:
Officials did not evacuate the Executive Tower, however they limited access in or out of the building, said Andrew Staubitz, chief of the Arizona Capitol Police. The lockdown was lifted at 11:23 a.m.
Staubitz did not know the contents of the letter, where it was from or to whom it was addressed. He said more details would be released later today. It was unclear whether anybody was injured.
