Multiple emergencies and investigations unfold in three states
In Kansas a state office building faced evacuation after an envelope containing a powdery white substance described as anthrax was found. Up to 25 people may have been exposed as the powder lingered on elevator controls. The material was sent to Washington for testing. In Virginia DNA tests confirmed one baby’s biological ties to the wrong family after a three year switch, while California awaits results for the other infant. In Oregon eight people have died with help from doctors under the states assisted death law since it began last fall.
