FBI: 'Potential presence of ricin' found in Minneapolis apartment

The FBI says test results "indicated the presumptive potential presence of ricin" in substance found in a Minneapolis apartment.

On Tuesday, a person was hospitalized after "unconfirmed reports of ricin" at the Dinkytown apartment building, according to the Minneapolis Fire Department.

Minneapolis Fire says crews were called to 515 14th Avenue SE Tuesday afternoon on a report of a hazardous substance.

Crews evacuated the apartment building and isolated the affected area, according to Minneapolis Fire's Twitter account.

The fire department tells KARE 11 that one resident was transported to the hospital.

"Central to the ongoing FBI investigation is how the female who went to the hospital came into contact with this potentially dangerous material. Early indications from the ongoing investigation reveal the female likely did not come into contact with the material in a random fashion; meaning she may have been intentionally handling the material. Given this early information and the ongoing investigation, we do not believe the general public is at risk at this time given the likelihood the material was confined to the single apartment in question and that it was likely not being used for any criminal activity," according to a news release.

Dinkytown is the U of M. It’s only a few blocks north of the Somali capital of Minnesota

Is that the same university where the lab blew up a couple years ago? They called it a gas explosion until the story passed, then they had to admit it was a terrorist act.
